Without shopping, I’m not sure how often I would get out of the house! I keep finding excuses to go look at shoes, books, games, etc. because I’m subconsciously desperate for a reason to leave the house for a few minutes. Unfortunately for me, though, I’m not really a shopper as much as I am a buyer. If I had to desire to just go look at things and not for things, my wallet would be happier. Or would it not be happier, because I’d be more enticed to buy things and bleed it dry?
Basically, I’m really missing Mother’s Day Out and I’m starting to see the appeal of daycare. I haven’t had a real break from working and parenting for two weeks, and I’m mentally exhausted. It’s getting to the point that I feel like I would appreciate and devote more attention to Gabe if he wasn’t here all the time, as horrible as that sounds. So you can imagine how much I’m looking forward to the little beach getaway this weekend. August is about to pick up for me work-wise with both Content Solutions and Kombo, so I need to take this while I can. Come onnnn, Friday!
At least my friends have been quite entertaining this last week. Check out the Quote Wall for the latest hilarity from my weird, weird friends. And Dragonball Z (of which I finally finished yesterday and my God, it had the worst ending ever in anime).
IF things go downhill this week with my family and we have to cancel the weekend trip, I promise that we WILL take a trip somewhere to make up for it!
I think that’s usual. I get claustrophobic if I’m shut inside all day, and I can’t sleep if I haven’t left the house for a few days. I just need to get out and see other people, get fresh air. I used to look forward to that weekly shopping trip to Target or wherever, and I know the longer I spent in the store, the more damage it did to our pocketbook. But if you only get out rarely, sometimes it’s worth it for your own sanity. 🙂
