Good Bye Old Friend...
We met almost 20 years ago in Guam. I was there for work. I needed toothpaste and found her on a shelf in the aisle near the jewelry. I always stopped to look at the jewelry first. You know, bling!!! It was a relationship that was meant to be. One look, and it was instant love. Something about her, well, she "spoke" to me. I brought her home with me to California. We lived together in harmony until a couple of weeks ago. And then, the unspeakable happened. She slipped from my fingers and went crashing to a slivery death. I miss her. She and I were so good together. She was a big part of who I was. She was there for me.

Ready, set to go in 5 days
I am so very ready for this vacation. I haven't had a vacation without kids or hubby in along time. Since right after we got married. I'll tell you about the Alaska trip another time.
I am ready to leave them all for a week. Let them see how I cater to them. I am tired of being the only one that can come up with an idea for dinner. Only to have it shot down like an enemy plane. I am tired of not being able to make what I want to for dinner. Because this one doesn't like it and that one doesn't FEEL like having it and the other one had it for lunch.
I am ready to take care of myself. I am ready to take responsibility for my actions. And only mine. I am ready to only worry about getting myself out the door. I am ready to take only what I will need for the day. I am ready to cut only my meat at mealtime.
I will be a better mother when I return from my vacation. I will be ready to cater to them again.
But for now, I NEED to pamper myself. I am getting the fake nails. I am taking 3 bathing suits. I am going to shop this week for another cute outfit. Even if I have enough clothes as it is. I just want something new to wear. Heck, I may go wild and get two new outfits. And shoes. Gotta get new shoes. So I need the pedicure too. And better see if Robby can fit me in for a hair appt.
Sorry if I sounded whiney just now. I am normally not a whiney person. I will stop now.
