texchanQueen for a Day:
So, tomorrow, I'm going to be "Queen for a Day". Kinda. I've been so stressed out with my parents visiting and just feeling overwhelmed in general with hubby's crazy work schedule and all the kiddo activities and such. Plus, not getting any writing done -- pretty much all summer -- hasn't helped at all. I've gotten a little done, but I still feel like this summer was pretty much a wash, writing-wise. Even though I know I'm being too hard on myself. I tell myself this, but it doesn't seem to sink in.
So, hubby reserved a room for me at one of my favorite hotels. As a surprise. He told me about it yesterday. I get to check in tomorrow around noon or so, and have the rest of the day to myself, tomorrow night, and Sunday until check-out. Hours and hours and hours of unoccupied time. zOMG! I have no idea what I'll do with myself, although I'm hoping something will break with regard to one of my in-progress stories. I'm taking my compy and the work I've done so far.
I feel a bit guilty over leaving my daughter. It's silly. It's not like she'll be alone. Or with strangers. She's with her dad, for crying out loud. But it's not the same as "Mama". And she's very, very attached to me. She's already told me, numerous times, that she doesn't want me to go. I hate for her to worry like this. At the same time, I know she needs to learn that she can be OK if I'm not here. Yes, she might not like it as much, but she can survive it. And she needs to spend more time with her dad. I just hope he doesn't feel too overwhelmed with all the child responsibilities; probably, he won't. It's just for a day, after all.
Oh, but the thought of sleeping in, undisturbed. Of staying up as late as I want. Of just sitting and staring at the wall, if I want to. All without someone wanting something from me or demanding my attention. I'm really looking forward to it. It sounds so selfish, but I need this little break.
So, overall ... Wheee!
Aaaaand, new cel gallery stuffage!
