You know it's bad when the girls you work with are telling you that you need a vacation. L I love the women I work with. They are almost like a second family. I guarantee you that they know more about me and my family then even some of you who are great friends to me do. This is because they see me day to day and week to week. They are the one's who are here when I come in after arguing with teenagers in the morning and are here when I get emergent (and really ridiculous not so emergent) calls from the school. They are here when I get outrageous calls from my ex, that I stupidly answer and when I am excited about something cool going on in life.
So today when K said, "Man- you have just had no slow down. You really need to see if your parents can take the kids and take a couple days just for yourself", I thought crap! Do I really look that bad? Is my under eye cover up NOT cutting it today or what? I have a new bed and I have been sleeping great. I even noticed a lessening of dark circles under my eyes over the past week. Sigh. But yeah, I'm perpetually tired and un-motivated these days. It shows.
Between arguing with my equally un-motivated graduating daughter about how she needs to keep her grades up until graduation to fighting with my aspie about why he needs to study for tests and how it DOES matter if he gets a D instead of a B or C on his tests, I'm just tired. Not really physically as in I could lie down and sleep for a week but mentally and emotionally tired.
I want a vacation….somewhere with a beach…..and a cute cabana boy of course. Somewhere without a cell phone and annoying text messages from ex's, work or kids. Somewhere….that I can just lay in the sun, get massages, and catch a few waves. Somewhere, where I don't have to worry about what anyone else thinks about me, or whether I'm organized enough, nice enough, cute enough….
Hey- a girl can dream can't she??
Two Months and 23 days left!!!
