Evidence

A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to go somewhere for Spring Break.  I asked around but no one was really able to go with me, so I decided I would go by myself.  After battling a little mommy guilt, I booked my trip and have looked forward to it since.  It's funny though, the multiple responses you get when you tell people you are taking a vacation by yourself.  Some people are envious, others silently judge you for leaving your family behind for a little solo break.  Personally I don't care what others think about my vacationing practices.

Turns out it was a much needed break.  This year has been so crazy with work and everything else that I'm losing my touch.  Typically my type A brain takes over when planning a vacation and I have every detail covered.  Frequently my husband has claimed "you thought of everything" when we've been on vacation.  Here are two pieces of evidence that I am in desperate need of a brain break:

• I booked my bed and breakfast for Monday-Thursday, but booked a plane ticket that didn't leave til Tuesday.  Didn't find out until I tried to check in Monday morning.
• I booked a super shuttle ride to take me to my BnB from the airport.  After 40 minutes in the van they tried to drop me off at a totally different place with an almost identical name.  Turns out I didn't verify the address I gave them and went 10 miles out of my way which added another 15 minutes to my late night journey.

These two things would have never happened to me before.   I am totally out of my element. I am so glad that I have taken these few days off because obviously I need them.  Here's to taking a much needed break from life.
