This weekend was so nice. Mike just kept telling me what a wonderful time he was having. It got to be our running joke for the weekend. He would just look at me and say, "Have I told you how much fun I am having" over and over again. Our business causes him so much physical and mental stress and that is why we try to take as many vacations as possible. When we are away, it is really the only days off he gets. If we are here he has to work. No weekends off and only a few of the major holidays...it sucks. But if we are away, he finally gets to relax.
Since we go to the casinos around here once in a while now, the gambling isn't the big deal it was before. This time we went dancing two of the nights, slept in every morning (for Mike that is 7:00 am) and I think we spent more time eating than playing cards! What we did was...spend time together (yes there was also some very hot vacation sex). It was just so nice.
Today everything was back to normal...by normal I mean stressed out, not enough time, nothing ready when it was supposed to be, me feeling like I just can't do enough, him trying not to take out his frustration on me. In fact we talked about this while we were down there. If we were not such a close couple, this business would have tore us apart years ago.
I wish I could some how bottle and sell something that could bring back that "vacation feeling"...and that it would not harm your body...or be illegal. I could make BILLIONS from something like that. :)
