Mothers...do you ever feel...?

...like you completely signed away your right to any down time the moment you gave birth to your first child? Like the notion of using the toilet ALONE is just for other people? Maybe it is because I am so tired today, but I'm just feeling...spent.

I'm tired of having company in the bathroom with me. I'm tired of locating and refilling sippy cups endlessly. I'm tired of having to scarf down my dinner in five minutes. I'm tired of not being able to come home from work and just take FIVE measly minutes to unwind before the kids attack me.

I need a vacation. With, or without, Evan ;-) . Nothing too elaborate...just a long weekend at a luxury hotel or quiet Bed and Breakfast, maybe by the beach somewhere. Where someone else can fix my meals (ok, so being as Evan does all the cooking in our house, that one is just thrown in for dramatic effect), fetch my toys, and attend to my needs. Or, better yet, just leave me be!

Hey, a girl can dream, right?
