I need to get away!
November 14, 2009
For whatever reason, our business at work has really picked up over the last couple of weeks. It’s really weird, the economy is still in the toilet, unemployment is at the highest levels since 1983 (much higher, I think, when you take into account all the people the statistics aren’t counting…those whose unemployment have run out, those working part time jobs because that’s all they can find)…but people are suddenly buying furniture. I come home every day and basically collapse. We’re all stressed, we all need a vacation at this point.
Vacation….hummmmmmm….
Well, we close for the week of Christmas, so there is a vacation in sight. But I don’t tend to do anything for that week, just hang out at home and enjoy the holidays (which is wonderful, after years of working retail…where Christmas was when you DID NOT take a vacation). But….I’d love to have a vacation that was really a vacation. One where you actually GO somewhere.
My ultimate dream vacation would be to go on a cruise. It’s something I’ve never done, and would love to do. I was hoping maybe for our 20th anniversary…but given the state of things, I don’t think that’s realistic. Maybe for our 25th. :) By then the kids will be grown, and hopefully things will have turned around. 6 years….yeah, I’ve waited this long, I can wait a little longer. In the meantime, maybe we’ll manage to sneak off to Daytona for a weekend for our 20th. A kid-free weekend on the beach….that’ll work.
Hey, a girl can dream!

My name is Tammy. I'm a 45 year-old married mother of three teenagers, living in my version of paradise, also known as SW Florida. I can tend to be opinionated. My political views lean to the right. I'll think of more later, lol.

A vacation on the books is the key to happiness…even only if it’s a weekend away. Try Cedar Key. It’s not too far away & a beautiful getaway.
