Hurricane relaxation

I am sitting at DIA right now... Headed into hurricane Irene for a short vacation with my hubby. Yes, I decided that a hurricane would still be a vacation... Because I currently function in what feels like a hurricane with four children, and now I'll just have the hurricane aspect, no children, so it will be relaxing. I have changed my expectations, of sun, beach, surfing, and eating... To sleeping and eating. It should be great.


I know every mom has to make those decisions that feels like you are putting yourself before your children, but I think that by doing that, you are choosing your children. I am sure I will miss my kids like crazy, and I am also sure that will be plenty of regression because of this little jaunt. But I am also sure that I have to recharge. and that my hubby and I need a few days of just us. And that I will be reminded of my truest heart while I am gone.

So here's to running away, to being a good mom. And to hurricane Irene!
