Breaking Free

Tomorrow is a special day. No, its not my birthday, or my anniversary. It's the day I say goodbye to the winter blues and get out of my house! Am I the only one who feels that this has been a long winter? Maybe it's because I've been cooped up with a new baby and a 2 year old. Or maybe it's because its cold and rainy outside again when I really want spring-like weather. Having Jason gone these past few weeks and with the kids and I being sick has only intensified my urge to escape to somewhere, anywhere. . . but my house. That all ends tomorrow! It's Spring Break and we are headed for Kansas. A few days at my sister's house is just what I need. Hanging out with my twin who knows me and understands me and thinks like me will do more than any trip to a shrink. Sure it's going to be chaos and craziness and loud but at least I will be at her house and not mine for a few days. I think Jenna feels the same way. When I told her we were going to visit her cousin tomorrow, I found her sitting at the front door yelling, "ALLISON, ALLISON!" over and over. I had to remind her, "Tomorrow, not today-now close the door!" I think she's feeling a little like I do. After all, she HAS been cooped up with her mom and a new baby all winter too.
