Staycation

I'm to the point where I'm so worn out and tired of the day to day grind, that my husband has suggested I take a few days off of work for...me.  Now, if you are a long time follower of the blog, you may know that I have a bunch of time saved up, both sick time and vacation time.  And you probably also know that I'm very stingy with how I use it.  Why?  Because when the day finally comes that a child is placed in our home, that is how I will be staying home with said child to bond in the beginning.  So the less time I use now, the more time I will have with him/her whenever that incredible day comes.  So the idea of taking time for me sounds good, but in my head I do this:  "if I use three days here then that only leaves me with X amount of days for when we do get placed with a baby and X amount of days to keep as emergency days for when he/she gets sick.  And what about if I want to take some time off at Christmas if we do have a child by then." Etc, etc, etc.

However, I do think a few days to do what I want to do when I want to do it has been, for a lack of better word, earned.  We have cancelled two vacations in the past two years, and I think some me time would do me good.  So I will be doing everything from cleaning to napping on no particular schedule, with a few other fun things thrown in the mix.  So today is my Friday.  And Tuesday will be my Monday.  5 whole days to relax and move at whatever pace I choose for the day.  Happy Staycation to me!
