Some days, many in fact, are challenging. I won't lie to you. There are times, lately, I envision myself on a warm beach somewhere...anywhere,
I don't seem to care, drinking a virgin pina colada. And as one ends, the beach waiter (like in Mexico) brings me another. I just sit there, doing nothing. Not even reading. Just enjoying the sun on my skin and the drink in my hand. I'm just me for awhile.
No one yelling my name to get me this, or asking where is that, or blaming me for something they couldn't do on their own and, for some unknown reason beyond my understanding, I should'v known and been there to help, prevent mistakes or make things work out. But then reality hits.
I'm back in my own busy, chaotic, hectic, crazy, on call 24/7 life. And I realize, that if I did leave, I might never return,
and how that would be a shame. Because truly.
I'm where I want to be. I'm happy being Mom. No matter what that entails.

Haha, I'm glad you're not afraid to post real pictures of real every day life Shelly! Great inspirational post cause I feel like this at times too, except just wanting to go anywhere, doesn't matter where, as long as I can have some time to myself! LOL
Such a fun, sweet post! :)
