Jess, not Mom

As I do my best to catch up on laundry and other household chores I'm thinking about tomorrow, Monday, Momday. I've missed a couple of them recently because of appointments and the kids being on vacation... I like to get mundane chores out of the way on the weekend to free up my time for when the kids go to school... unfortunately their vacation continues into tomorrow, ha. ha. ha... another lost Momday... ho hum... I need a vacation..

I have a weekend coming up, one of those rare occasions that I don't have to be mom first.. I get to just be Jess for a couple of days... the problem is that I really want to get out of my apartment, I don't want to end up sitting around in my sweats all weekend, on my own couch watching chick flicks.. I want to relax, I want a change of scenery.. I want see a movie that isn't animated or PG-13, I don't want to have to worry about being home at a certain time or even sleeping in my own bed... I could stay with a friend, rent a room overlooking the ocean or drive a few hours and visit with a good buddy and his cat, Cat or Fetus or whatever he's calling it this week... and as much as I'd like to go away I don't think I can go too far, I don't have anyone to feed my cat, Lily.. if you were in my skin you would see how funny this really is.

I just want to be Jess, not Mom, for a few days.. just a whole lot of Jessness, is it really too much to ask???

ho-hum
