I ran away from home last night. For three glorious hours. Christmas Break had gotten to me, and I was at my breaking point. Thank goodness I have a wonderful husband who encouraged me to just go. Forget the meatloaf I was going to make for dinner. Forget the dishes in the sink. Go.
And that's what I did. Wish I could say I did something exciting and fun. I didn't. I went to Target and to TJMaxx. Not thrilling, but oh so necessary. I had Pizza Hut for dinner and leisurely strolled around the stores. I bought socks for the kids and took the Christmas money my father-in-law gave me and bought a beautiful red leather laptop bag for myself. I guess that's pretty exciting.
Also exciting is that fact that I won a new Toshiba laptop! I can't believe I forgot to blog about it. I won it in a fabulous contest from Family Eden, the social networking site for families I blog for. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm waiting with baited breath.
Not a bad start to the new year, I'd say. I've got some more good news, that I will share in an upcoming post. It has to do with a couple of blogging jobs I've recently received. Things are really moving along for me.
Despite the good things that are happening in my life, and despite the fact that I love my little angels, I still needed to get away for a bit. I'm usually the evangelist for mommy "me time" and for pampering ourselves. I'm not sure why I've neglected taking my own advice, but I intend to work on that in the upcoming year. Have you ever "run away from home"?
