Vacation

We are planning a vacation and I'm thrilled to be saying it. We are going away for a real vacation. No staycation business but a real one with suitcases, airport agida and the possibility of true adventures. Of course there is plenty of time before we go away but I'm already stock piling books, thinking about my clothes and considering the very real pleasure of not having to think about anything in an organized or responsible way. This is a time where my most significant decision of the day will be what to have for breakfast that I don't have to cook, where to sit on or near the beach and what time to leisurely stroll over to a table cooled by tropical breezes and let someone serve me lunch. Oh, yum. This is all wonderful which is why I mention it way ahead of time because I wanna enjoy the pre vacation glow as much as the I'm away from home immediacy and the oh my god, did I really have to come home so soon thoughts. .

Of course I am wishing away my life. Kate has exams to finish even before the end of this week which will signals the end of the school year. Exams and summer reading lists and new shorts. Just about in that order.
