leavin' on a jet plane

Tomorrow I leave for Cancun to meet up with my sister. No husbands, no kids...just relaxing. On the agenda is: sleeping, reading, hanging out at the pool and on the beach (lots of sunscreen for this lobster girl), and an excursion to Chichen Itza (aka Itsa Chicken). What we won't be doing: cooking, cleaning, or working hard. Aaaahhhh, here's to chillaxin' under a palapa.

The good news is that I will come home a better mom and wife (a few days of missing my family always helps me get things in perspective and makes me appreciate them even more). I usually regain my perspective within 24-48 hours (give or take a day or two), so 4 nights/5 days is feeling okay right now. Plus, if you don't take care of yourself, you won't be able to take care of those you love. A couple of wise women gave me that sage advice...

See you when I get back!

PS: I'm already missing them like crazy and I haven't even left yet.
