I got away this past weekend.

4 days of freedom.

Don’t get me wrong….. I love my family, but as all Mom’s know, breaks are good.

Really good!

My break consisted of a women’s retreat, where I was with old friends and made some new ones.  It was so nice to be with others moms in ministry, with ladies that really understand and “get” the way life is for us.

Then I headed to San Diego to drive my friend to the airport.  It was so strange and wonderful to be alone in the city for 2 days.  It was so quiet.

Every one should drive with a bag of chocolates at their side, especially when you don’t have to share.

I did a little shopping, stayed with a friend, and enjoyed the long, beautiful drive home… alone.  

Good times.

I’m thinking I should do this more often….
