I do. I could sooooo do with a holiday right now. Even for a couple of days. Just to go somewhere I can chill and pretend nothing else matters. Heaven for a few days.
What about you? Are you at a point where you catch yourself daydreaming about getting away from it all?

I used to feel that way. When I had a full time job, guardianship of a troubled teen and was going through the change. Yes, I sure did. Right now I am dreaming of travelling again and going to different cities in the US that I haven't seen yet. So I guess I am wanting to get away but not in the same way.

I hear you. Your desire to get away isn't fuelled by desperation or acute tiredness.
Which US states do you plan on visiting when you get the chance?

I want to go to Louisianna again and see New Orleans again. I would like to go to Michigan and travel to a island off the coast names Mackinac Island where Somewhere In Time was filmed. They have an annual party at their Grand Hotel there where you wear vintage clothing and sometimes the stars of the movie make an appearance. This is my dream. I would also like to see The Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. That's about it.

That's about it? Sounds like a lot! And sounds like a whole lot of fun.

Not so much "get away" from it all but, rather, change my life around. I mean, usually when people talking about getting away it means they're thinking of a vacation without having to deal with kids, pets, work, school, or any of the craziness life throws at us. I'd like to kind-of do the opposite because right now I don't have much going on. Maybe I'm the crazy one? ;)

You're not crazy. I can relate to wanting to change your life around. I feel like that a lot of the time. Felt like that most of the year.
Maybe we're both crazy :-)

Hello hello Ms. browneyed. Lately, I've been wishing to just get away, to run away for one day without thinking about any responsibilities or anything. Work and co-workers has been stressful lately. Unfortunately, I'm out of vacation days. Though I'm on that job search to get away from stressful co-workers.

Hello, hello Khayshenz 
Do you work weekends? If not, could you perhaps go on a short trip on Friday? - on the Saturday, you can forget you even work (work? what work?) - and then you can leave Sunday afternoon.

12 hour shift? Oh dear. Is that your regular shift or are you doing overtime/covering for someone?

I would love even just a day like that. Stress is getting on me, physically, mentally and emotionally. I sometimes daydream that I was someone else: a rich, young, carefree girl who can have everything in the world. Then I snap back to the reality of work, kids, husband and financial needs. It's not that I regret having a family, it's wonderful and i love them so much. It's just that there are times when I wish I can have a "me" day to pamper myself.

Aww, sorry you're feeling so stressed. Could you possibly take a half day off - go pamper yourself? Is it possible?
I sometimes envy babies - because they don't have a care in the world.

It's great you're going somewhere in a few months. Where are you going?
