OMG, y’all do I need a break! I’m completely stressed out, over-whelmed, anxious and depressed! Mama is getting next to no time on her own.

I asked people on my Facebook page what they do to get a break when they are feeling similarly burnt out. And I got some great answers! Like drink, take a bath, dance, exercise, drink, hide out alone, drink, get a massage. All fantastic ideas (and so much better than my idea of putting a bullet in my head) and I’ve tried them all (except exercise) (I really should get on that) at one point or another.

But today? Right now? None of those is going to work. None of those great escape ideas feels like enough. I need a real break.

Without kids. Without noise or messes to clean up and meals to make or floors to scrub. A break without laundry to fold or beds to make or fights to referee. A break that last longer than my buzz or the time it takes for my mani/pedi to dry.

Ten days in one of those huts would probably do the trick.  Along with the drinking, dancing, spa treatments and exercise. Ahh, doesn’t that sound like bliss?

    Popped in from SITS! There’s nothing like going somewhere where I don’t have to cook, do laundry and have a nice soft bed to sleep in as late as I want!
