I’m Leaving On A Jet Plane

July 19, 2008 |

In 24 hours I will be on a plane bound for Chicago and from there on to South Bend, Indiana for a week-long conference at Notre Dame.

Will I miss my kids and my husband? Um, yeah, sure I will.

Will I be working every day? Undoubtedly.

But I am so looking forward to this break. I have felt suffocated by my responsibilities for such a long time now. The thought of 6 glorious days of only taking care of myself is pure bliss.

Of course, it doesn’t come without endless chores yesterday and today to try and get the family ready. Between laundry, cleaning and meal planning I’m wiped out.

But all of this work is not without reward:

  • * King sized bed - to myself.
  • * Full control of the remote.
  • * Peace.
  • * Quiet.
  • * Complete thoughts.
  • * Uninterrupted sleep.

I can’t wait.

    Oh, Darn IT! My original vacation plans would have included a drive straight through South Bend…. Things being what they are in Lake Michigan right now, we’ve opted to vacation on Lake Erie instead….so would have been fun to meet up in person!

    Hope you have a bit of relaxation this week!
