After a botched attempt to get away a couple weeks ago and get some me time that I've been so desperate for, I was finally able to do so last week.
I didn't go anywhere special, but I was able to get out of the house, have some time away from my kids (whom I love dearly but anyone with kids will tell ya, you do need a break from them from time to time), have some alone time, and get some time with my hubby
I ended up going with hubby to Windsor where he has been spending M-F since Nov. for work. We ended up going up on Sunday.
I took some pics on the way up..... not the greatest of pics as they were from a moving vehicle (and no I wasn't driving LMAO)
I was trying to get pics of the wind turbines...... they are huge, even from miles away.
This next pic is my fav.
It is a lovely drive indeed. We almost had an accident though, there was a HUGE piece of steel sitting in the middle of the lane we were in, luckily I saw it first and there was noone next to us so we were able to move over. We called 911 to report it..... someone could have been really hurt.
Got there all in one piece, hubby upgraded his normal room for me, and we relaxed, then called to check in on the homefront. All was well, and my kids think I'm overprotective LOL.
Didn't do a whole lot..... did alot of soul searching, relaxing, and even did some work with hubby. ( it's a lot different to 'work' when you know you don't have to ) Went to the mall a couple times, and I think it was Tues that I ended up flaring my back injury/pinching a nerve..... that was no fun... It eased on Thurs.
I met a new friend.....
I was talking on msn to my daughter and saw something out of the corner of my eye.
Sorry it's dark, the first time, when I went to use the flash, he took off running and it's shot through the screen on the motel room.
I will post some more shots of "Tom" in the fur pics.... I got some pretty good shots of him. He'd let me come about 4 feet from him
And that was the highlight of my trip. We came back on Wed. to check on things at the homefront, so it was 4hrs of driving that evening.
Came home on Friday feeling refreshed, and emotionally well
And of course, Sat. was catch up day around here, enjoyed some quality time with my kids whom I value alot more now. Kendra left for cadet camp on Sunday, and as she said: "Now it's my turn for my break".
I'm feeling a whole lot more positive about life in general, which is great because I was getting pretty down. One thing after another, just left me testy, grumpy, and not the mom nor wife I want to be. Now I am.
It is such a peaceful feeling.
