Tuesday October 11: Escape





Thanksgiving was about escape for me.

From what you might ask?

Just from the every day, from  my always messy house, from having to take care of the boys, from trying to eat healthy and be productive.

All of this was made possible by the fact that we went to Sarnia, a little town outside of Ontario and stayed at my Mom's house.

Going home to Mom is like an emotional spa for me.

So what does escape involve?  Time in the park with the kids, reading books that I can't admit to, eating, Indian food, turkey, cookies, crumbles, chips (dipped in cream cheese no less!) seeing movies with R (we saw this which made me want to join a campaign now).

We also saw Country Strong, yes really.  And I liked it way more than I wanted to - thank you cowboy who's name I don't remember.  Also have to grudgingly acknowledge that while GOOP is well goopy (which means something like drippy) Gwenyth Patrow is a good actress.  There I said it.

The thing about a weekend of escaping is that you feel like you should come back all charged up to Get Things Done, and be super productive.  But maybe it's the three hour drive home but that's not how I'm feeling right now.... ugh.
