Crummy vacation

[atarianna]

I am on the last day of the crummiest vacation.

We are on the beach but in a condo we've not stayed in before. It is full of clutter and not at all baby/toddler friendly, so I have to be almost always carrying my youngest or put him out on the lanai to keep him and the place safe. It has rained every single day and we have been lucky to get 1-2 hours of sun each day. Both kids are ending up in our bed nightly so sleep has been impossible too.

My H was in training down here Tuesday/Wednesday so he was gone from 6-6 those days. Two other days he went golfing with my FIL so he was gone from 6-1.

So I have been the sole caregiver, in a non-baby-friendly place, where it rained every day for 75% of this trip. I need a freaking break.

Sounds like it's time to hand the kids to your husband and take yourself to a movie and lunch.

That sounds just miserable I hope your H understands how hard it's been for you and gives you a break when he can!

Are you in Ireland by any chance? It's been raining here sooooo much recently!
But seriously, that really does suck and I completely sympathise. I know how stressful cluttered houses with young kids can be...... Not much consolation, but you'll be in your own place soon, where you can relax a bit more

I'm sorry, that sucks. i would definitely try to hand the baby off and get some quiet time.

I'm sorry; that sounds rough. At least this is the last day?

[atarianna]

Nope irish, in Florida. Thankfully when he got back this afternoon I decided to take a much needed respite. I went to the local shops, had happy hour and ate lunch all ALONE!

That's shitty, I'm sorry. Can you take a post vacation mini-break for yourself? Massage? Mani-pedi?
