Need a “Vacation FROM Vacation”?

The cute and simple beach look

If you are in my age range (not saying I am old, just not in my twenties anymore), have a demanding career, perhaps have children and so on; you MUST know what I am feeling right now. 

I just returned from a week long vacation in Myrtle Beach.  I was thrilled to be able to spend this time with my 4 teenagers since the last few spring breaks have been filled with my pursuit to complete a Master’s Program.  We had a oceanfront condo which allowed that breath-taking view of the ocean that I love so much.  We checked out a few Ripley’s sites (the museum, moving theatre, etc.), spent time on the beach, at the pool, in restaurants, Alligator cove, the malls (of course).

Guess who needs a “vacation FROM vacation”?  I love my teenagers, however; vacations with them require some work.  You are still managing their personal dynamics, worried about doing things that will please them all and doing lots of running to and fro.  Being a single parent has me being the one to do it all. 🙂  I have been blessed to be able to provide my kids with quality recreation.

Now, Mommy needs a vacation of her own.
