I recently took an 18-day staycation from work because my PTO had accumulated so much and we're in a dead period right now. I had nothing to do but what I planned to do and I could take a nap at any time. I wasn't forced into some little tiny tyrant's schedule, I didn't have to run around and waste gas driving said little tiny tyrant around, I could take my time with the things I wanted/needed to do, I didn't have to play with and entertain anybody, and I didn't have to put on pants.

I'm on summer vacation and enjoying it thoroughly. I love that being CF allows for actual relaxation during weekends and vacations. When I was younger I noticed that parents never really got to relax, and that my mom and dad were usually tired when we got back from family trips, etc. I figured that shit out young, and filed it away for future reference. Could be why I was already skeptical of the whole parenting thing by the time I was sixteen, and knew for sure by the time I was eighteen or nineteen that the type of life I wanted simply wasn't compatible with parenthood.

What is wrong with these spineless Moomies? I was raised by a 1960's mom who had no problem telling me that she needed some personal time and I needed to get out of her hair for a while. Neither one of us suffered. Healthy separation and boundaries are good.

Let's see...
My husband took last week off, and he's back to work tomorrow. I decided to enroll in a medical transcription course so I can work, I adopted a new featherbaby named Spike, as she was abandoned at the pet store TWICE. I'm changing her name to Leah.
.......
If I had brats, nothing could've been possible. I probably would have never married the man I love, never been able to afford a house, and never could've done the things I've wanted. Not only would me and my husband's staycation have been ruined, but so would our lives.

This sounds like a wonderful staycation. Congratulations on the training and finding a Conner a new buddy. And a new great home for Leah!
