Go.

Ever have that feeling that you just want to go somewhere, anywhere, far away?
And it doesn't even really matter where?

Actually it's not just a want but a need.

You need to go somewhere.

Do something.

Different.

See something. 

Different.

Pack those bags, make some plans.

It could be far... a plane trip away.

 Or close by, just a couple hours drive.

You mentally scan where you could go and with whom.

You realize that none of your girlfriends could really do that right now for various reasons.

But still. That need to get away is there.

She's rearing her ugly head, throwing a fit almost at how bad she really needs to get away.

She says she has to go.

There is nothing in particular to get away from, just the need to go.

For something different form your day-to-day.

Maybe a weekend away at a Bed & Breakfast, just the husband and I.

But due to homework (him) and lack of babysitters (us) you realize that really won't work.

And you briefly, just briefly, feel guilty about your urge to get away.

Because it's really strong.
To just go.

And you remind yourself that it's not even about getting away form anyone (read: kids), 

it's time for yourself, a breather, a break with new scenery and no laundry.

So you continue to fantasize about packing your bags and driving out of town a few hours away, 

in any direction, after dropping the kids off with the grandparents.

Because everyone needs to get away. 

And come back refreshed.

And then your dog throws up in the house again because she was on the run yesterday and someone named Anthony found her and left you a note to call him to come pick her up and he tells you

 he found her wandering down the street eating a dead bird so you should probably take her to the vet today to get some sort of sample taken because she could get really sick....

and then you wonder what in the hell you were thinking because you are not going anywhere. 
Anytime soon.

But a girl can dream.

Happy Friday.
Let's say you found out just late last night or early this morning that you had
 just the weekend to go away somewhere, you are off duty of all responsibilities.
Just two nights away.
Where would you go?
Do tell.

*You can find me here today, too.
