Tomorrow I leave to go stay in a cabin in the woods for about a week. I’ve been so burnt out, my nervous system is completely shot. I haven’t had a break since having my first kid in 22. I’m going alone and the place has no internet and no television. I seriously cannot wait. I haven’t been alone in almost 4 years. I’m exhausted, I’m stressed and quite honestly not a lot of fun to be around anymore. I’m hoping this trip is enough to just decompress from all of the madness that’s been going on. Also in hoping my husband gets a better appreciation for all of the crap I do around here. He’s taking the week off so I can go but it’s still going to be a lot of work. He says he understands what I do and acknowledges how hard I work, but I still don’t think he knows. Anyway, I’m currently packing all of my hobbies and books so I can’t just do whatever feels good in the moment. This is exciting for me and I’m the only mom in my friend group so I don’t think they understand how big of a deal this is.
