I wasn't sure we should just pack up for the day and go. There were floors to be mopped, drawers and closets to be weeded out, recycling cans to cash in, lesson plans to be filled in....
But as we did, I became simply happy - just being mom. I love being the one to remember all the essentials and that when we are gone from all the other responsibilites - I am just supposed to be mom. Holding hands across the street, noticing when to apply chapstick, having an extra water bottle in my purse.
and I loved it. Even if it was for only a day.
we kicked it
Mom and Dad rented this cute farmhouse in Big Bear for the weekend.
we were silly
we ate a breakfast meal here on our honeymoon 17 years ago.
so we were remembering........... and then we were smiling and it was nice 'cause
..... it had been a while

That is sweet. Glad you got away.
I had to come say "hi." As a fellow home school mom, I chuckled when you posted on Lauren's blog about reading and having to declare a teacher workday. I have done this so often. Not with Twilight,but too many other great books. Good to meet you.
Big Bear is wonderful this time of year -- and all the other times I've been there, as well!! Glad your were able to forsake the chores calling your name and dive right into the freedom of your vacation!
