Someday I'll look back on all this and miss it, but right now I just want to read a book in peace! :) And in Jamaica!<br /><br />Sarah: Oh, I know. I know. We go camping every year--which is beautiful and fun--but it's work. Every vacation seems to involve work! Ugh.<br /><br />Stacy: It is hard.

I love my family, but I wish my husband could understand how tiring it is to be with children all day, and how tough it can be to watch kids, keep house, and find time to write.Stacy Greenhttp://stacygreenauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-18888163010170471882011-12-12T20:40:02.939-05:002011-12-12T20:40:02.939-05:00Ohhh yes, I'm right there with you, Jill!

Something tells me in a couple more decades, when I have those days every day, I'll miss the craziness of today. But in the meantime, I'm all about booking that room at the Hilton. Or maybe making enough money from my writing to afford a kid-free trip to Jamaica. :-) Well, the Jamaica thing is dream-world for sure. But it's still fun to think about.Naomi Rawlingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431203734855694561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-40154568459584398482011-12-12T19:13:32.576-05:002011-12-12T19:13:32.576-05:00I haven't had a vacation or an honest-to-goodn...I haven't had a vacation or an honest-to-goodness day off since 2010, so a day off sounds like a dream come true. My husband insists that in the new year we'll make up for the fact that I'm in such desperate need of a break by figuring out how to get me a whole week of rest :) I'm already planning out the books I'll read and the movies I'll watch too.<br /><br />I hope you get your day :)Marcy Kennedyhttp://www.marcykennedy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-72561224496602515402011-12-12T16:09:38.404-05:002011-12-12T16:09:38.404-05:00This sounds like the best Christmas present ever! ...This sounds like the best Christmas present ever!
