“I took my Mother’s Day present early this year: a few weeks ago I rented a small house for myself three hours away. I had been really craving some time completely alone, not talking to anyone or doing anything for someone else, and with no schedule. The real treat was going during the school week because that meant I skipped all the after school practices and games etc (shout out to my husband for his support and good parenting). I loved taking care of just me and catching up on my reading and watch list. I had really simple little single lady meals from stuff I brought from home that required very little cleanup. I came home very happy. (In the past my husband has given me gift cards to Getaway for the same vibe but more campy.)”
