You might be think I'm talking about a solo music project, but that's not quite it. You see, I'm about to go solo: two whole nights without Annabelle.
This weekend the Good Lovelies head out on a short 2 1/2 day trip to Minnesota for some shows. It's been a long time since I have been in the tour van with the band, and have had a hotel room to myself (well, at least one I can make noise in and not worry about the tiny sleeping hot potato in the other bed). I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to it.
This will be my first time away from Annie overnight. She's 13 months now, and I think I'm ready. It helps that today was overwhelming; one of those days when the to-do list doesn't get any shorter, and I've checked my email about 50 times, and the baby won't nap, and there's a pile of dishes to do, dinner to cook, a tour to get organized for and God knows what else. I don't necessarily believe this is a "Mom" thing. It's a Life thing. I know we all have too much to do and too little time - but usually I can wrap my head around it. Not today.
And even though I've been having ongoing vocal issues(you can read about them here), and the stupidly dumb schedule we're on this weekend (I likely will get as much sleep as I do at home with the baby waking at night), the idea of being able to sit back and not have an ear/eye out for a few hours is really really appealing.
So I'll leave it there for now. Just a little insight into how I'm feeling about going away without Annie. I'm sure the recap will be filled with how much I missed the babe (I'm in for it!), and how much I hate pumping (oh that old chestnut), but for now, wish me a good time. And a clear voice. And late night cable WHEEEEE!!!
'Til next time,
Caroline
