Getting away

Tomorrow I'm off for a weekend of fun and relaxation! I can hardly wait! I've been waiting for this for awhile now and I need it so badly. Taking the time to relax and reconnect with myself is going to be good not only for me, but for my whole family. I want to come back refreshed and feeling like I'm ready to take on the challenges we are facing in the coming months. I've never gone away and taken time just for me. In a way, I've felt guilty for wanting this so badly, but I know that I need it. Being a wife, a mother, a full time caregiver, it gets tiring. It's going to be so nice to not have to care for anyone but myself! No schedules, no worrying about anyone but me, actually being selfish and accepting that it's okay. The lake is supposed to be really beautiful and the weather will be perfect. I can't imagine anything better than sitting by sparkling blue water, headphones on, book in hand, drink beside me.....weekend here I come!
