Off to Warmer Shores

Tomorrow I am headed towards warmer shores.

I have so much work to catch up on around the house that I initially thought I would spend the week at home cleaning up clutter (the plight of a working mother). However, I also need a break from the chores - a catch 22, isn't it?

Considering all the stars and the planets lined up right, and my husband and I both got the same week off for vacation that the kids have for Spring Break, we could not miss this golden opportunity to get away.

I deliberated whether I should bring my laptop with me, and ultimately chose not to. I would like to be completely present for the children, and I think having the computer with me would be too much of a distraction. I would have wanted to have it for writing, but if I feel like I absolutely must get my thoughts out (and I predict that I will), I can use the diary app on my phone.

...Or there is always the old pen and paper.

Until next week...
