One of my favorite Go-Go’s songs.  I need a vacation.  I haven’t taken a real one since I can’t rememeber.  I don’t mean a day or two in Tahoe or the coast or visiting my sister.  I mean a get the hell out of Dodge vacation.  I thought for a long time, why do I need one?  I have a decent house, I have a pool and hot tub.  Why do I need a vacation?  So I can rest!  It has finally hit me up side the head.  This chick is tired and needs to get away.  Like all of us, I end up taking care of the entire world before I take care of myself.  I need some time without a phone, email, texting - anything.  I need to NOT have to make breakfast, lunch, dinner and clean up the mess afterwards.  So why don’t I go away?  I can’t.  I don’t have a job- I student teach for free for 5 months.  That ends at the end of May but working for free is hurting my bank account.   Actually, I have to pay to work for free.  The only vacation I am going to get is unplugging the phones, shutting everything off, and ordering take out.  There is no room service here though.  And no one is going to bring me drinks by the pool.  SIGH!  I have to talk to honey to see if he will work OT so we can go away before I have a nervous breakdown.  Of course, no going away until the end of May.  I am tired of all the hoops just to teach.  I am glad I didn’t know about them before hand or else I don’t think I would have done this. 

 I am going to rest my head.  Good night sweet chicks.
