What I need

You wanna know what I need?

I need a weekend away with my family in the trailer.

I feel like I cannot breathe.

I feel like hiding.

I need some space……………….yes, the trailer gives me space. 

When I am in it, I can breathe again.

I find myself wandering out to it daily. 

I sit, and listen to the quiet.

I play with my daughter on her bunk bed…..we have a basket of “trip toys” and it is a treat for her to play with them.

I open the cabinet that holds all of our food, and I smell the smell of the beach.  I smell the spices that I throw in with our fresh Gulf shrimp. 

I go to our room and lay on our bed and close my eyes…..I think about our nights and reading stories with my kids in the big bed in the trailer.

I need to get away so that I can feel like me again.

    Awww, Jody. I’m so sorry. We were at the factory the other day and I thought about you guys a lot. They were making only 5th wheels, though they had a couple prototype trailers in there. December can’t come soon enough!

    I know that feeling well. When do you have your next days off? Take the kids and run. They can miss a day or two of school, trust me. Sometimes taking the time to be a family is a better education. :)

    I know how you feel. I wish there was a way my family could just go off and live on some permanent vacation, just the four of us, on the road, enjoying life, sigh….

    Hope it works out better for you guys!
