The long and winding road

a little pre-vacay pampering!

Tomorrow we are escaping our reality! I am feeling equal parts excited and stressed out as I pack our bags and work my way down the check list. I realize we are taking way too much of our reality with us. I am not sure we can call this trip a vacation, its just changing our surrounds for a few nights.

The princess is on a much needed spring break. She has had a rough month with nerves and nightmares, growing pains and a nasty fever. So, the chance to sleep in and relax is well deserved and much needed.

However, the work load for the pastor is on the rise! Spring break and holy week should never be neighbors. So, no light reading, no fun movies (for me) – just work, work, work.

This is one of those weeks when the intersection of mom and pastor does not work so well. But, we'll make the most of it and enjoy a little cabin tucked away in the woods (with a great pastor's discount!). Hopefully, I will return feeling renewed to tackle Holy week, Easter and the final months of internship.

But, so much more, I am hoping the princess returns feeling at ease, joyful and having left some of the teenage sass in the woods!
