I need a couple of days where I can just sit in front of my computer playing games until my eyes bleed. Seriously. I know a lot of people look at people who play games and say that they need to get a life, but in my case, I have plenty of life. What I need is a break!
My husband and I own our own business. I am trying to get a new side business together. I have a three year old. (And believe me, she's like 5 kids in one!) I also have a 9 year old. And an 11 year old. (My 11-year-old son is long past bored with summer vacation and spends most of every day telling me so). I have a 19-year-old who lives in the apartment above ours... and he's a walking soap opera. Also, I have two additional kids (16 & 17) who live with their father and have been visiting off and on all summer. We live 300 miles from them, so all the travel has been a logistical nightmare.
You can imagine the housecleaning that goes along with 3 full-time kids and the three that are in and out of the house on a regular basis.
I love my kids. I love my husband. I just really need to unplug from the family, the house and the business before I lose what little mind I have left.
(Ok, rant over. Time for bed so I can get up and do it all again tomorrow. )
