I want to get away, I want to fly away....

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I am really a very solitary person by nature. My favorite time in my marriage was before D. and the husbeast worked nights 4 days a week. I feel terrible even writing this, however, I would be an awesome military/longshoreman's wife. Married, but without actually having a person in my house all the time.

Over the past decade everything changed, obviously. Now I feel like I have to be "on" all the time to keep the menfolk in my house, clothed, fed, clean, entertained. It's exhausting. And I am at my rope's end. I NEED A BREAK!!!!

So, when I get hired somewhere, and stop living off a pauper's wage, I am saving some money and taking a trip BY MYSELF to someplace awesome.

I want to spend 3-5 days doing exactly what I want, when I want and not have to worry about anyone else. I know that sounds completely selfish. And maybe it is. However, I'm not a very nice person to be around at home, right now. And the temptation to just take off feels way too strong.

Some possible destinations:

NYC (My favorite place in America, and no driving necessary!)
Monterey, CA (I have wanted to go here since I was a kid)
Toronto or Vancouver, Canada

And when I get back, I want to take my family to Washington, DC. And do a real family trip that we have not had in more than 3 years.

More on the school front (the front that just won't die), apparently we will not get our grades until MARCH 12th!!!!!! Almost a full month after finishing class! And my application is already in Tallahassee! I hope they don't send it back. :(

I hate my school. I am so glad to be nearly finished with them. Just give me my degree, my transcript, and let me get gone!
