Stick a fork in me – I’m done. I am officially burnt out. I haven’t taken a day off of work this year. I took a few last year (maybe 2?) and before that? Who knows. MATERNITY LEAVE DOES NOT COUNT! Especially when your husband travels A LOT! And the year before that all of my vacation time was eaten by a sick 1 yr old, OB appointments and MOVING!
I think my last REAL vacation was over 5 yrs ago – when I got married…
I need a break.
I need a day off.
But I don’t see one coming in the near future. I am almost halfway through my 6 month probation period at work – so no vacay until January. JANUARY! That is so freaking far away! I had originally negotiated a week off in August (10-14) to go to Lausanne with my hubby. I was so excited. I’ve spent months working out and getting in shape for it. But alas, money is tight, the economy sucks, the dog was sick, the pool pump is broken, the house needs electrical work … blah, blah, blah.
I need to get away. Lay on a warm beach with a trashy novel. Sleep-in and eat out.
Also – I need to spend some time de-cluttering my house which is definitely showing signs of being neglected by this full-time working mama. I hate tripping on things and putting things “away” that really should have been thrown out 3 years ago.

oh yuck! i’m sorry. i hope you get your wish and something turns around for you!!
Sorry to hear that. I’ve only got about 4 vacation days left myself after taking long, long weekends and not going anywhere.
But I’ve got you beat on the vacation. The last vacation I took was in 1997. And that was only to Rochester. Who goes to Rochester for a vacation? Ah, at least it was somewhere.
