I really really want to get out of town.

[cville]

Just for a day trip.  I'm not picky.  I'm just deep in winter blahs.  I got back to work and it was SUPER busy plus I was all "Hey!  Check me out and how valuable I am" so I have been overextending myself a bit.  But then earlier this week something big on my plate got postponed!  So we had a plan for a daytrip on Sunday.  Yay!  Fresh air!  Something other than my office/house/commute/Target!

And then the husband calls.  New case.  He needs to work this weekend.

I mean, I can and may still go just me and the kids.  But I miss my husband.  And it's both more fun and easier with him there.

I'm sorry buddy. I hope you get some time soon.

I hope you can get away asap. Do you have any reliable sitters who could watch the kids so you could have some time to get away or even just shop and get a pedi alone?

I do.  I've gotten it in my head that I have to leave the immediate metro area or it WON'T BE RELAXING ENOUGH GODDAMNIT.  Lol.  I might try that as an alternative.

i hear ya! I want to take a weekend to Williamsburg, which I actually like. Good food, nice spa and spring comes a bit earlier there.

Hope you get your time away.

The worst thing I did was not to plan a winter break.

That won't happen again. EVER.

I still have the urge to just book whatever deal I find to some sunny place.

And I don't.

WHY? UGH!

Boooooooo I'm so sorry

I know what you mean about getting out. We're planning our anniversary trip (just to Providence) and we're so stoked. All around so stoked. We SO need a break. That 2hr drive will be amazing.

[LLL]

I hope you get the chance to get away for the weekend soon. This winter has been dragging and all around blahhhh

[wambam]

Sorry, dude. I feel your feels. My H and I had planned to go away to "our" cabin next month and we had to cancel because of this whole salary reduction nonsense at his company

[BaliHai]

Yep. Our lives have been baby, baby, baby (and work, work, work for H; I just started back this week) since December, which, obviously and no big deal, BUT it's pretty much allll been inside because it's just too cold to take her anywhere, and we are stir crazy and routine bored. We are pretty much desperate for even a mildly nice day so we can drive to the shore and not all be miserable and freezing while we take in a change of scenery and breathe not-stale air.

California, seeves.  Come to me.

(And ninjabridemom!!!  OMG  (heart) (heart) (heart)!)

I'm so pathetic that I am ecstatic at the prospect of my client convention in a few weeks. It's at a resort in San Antonio and I fully plan to take all the free time allotted on the agenda to chill the fuck out.

[DotAndBuzz]

Ugh, I know the feeling. I now understand why everyone leaves town during mid-winter break in Feb up here. And if this snow doesn't start melting soon, I legit might hook up my hair dryer to an extension cord, and just start in on my backyard. Or maybe just the flower bed so I can stave off a pemafrost layer, see SOMETHING other than a fucking white tundra in all directions.

for fuckign serious.

I'm going into every November assuming it'll be this bad, always, from now until forever.  And planning at least weekend trips to keep the sanity.

Because holy mother of god.  This. Winter.

*coughcoughVegasis80andsunnynextweekendcough*

I was invited to a multiple bedroom suite in Vegas with super cool baller friends at the of March.

I said I'd think about it. Back when they invited, tickets were $180/pp.

NOW THEY'RE $450.

And i'm pissed.

I think DH isn't going to be able to go, and I'm also pissed because her husband (DH's bestie) is going.  I don't want to be a third wheel, though with them I'd still have a good time.

AND I NEED TO GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HERE.  Even if it's just for a weekend.

I'm going to Vegas at the end of March.  So not only would you get to chill in your high roller suite with baller friends, but you would ALSO be having a drink with me at the Cosmopolitan.

Tear.

TEAR!
