A moms idea of a vacation

This is my absolute favourite journal page so far!! And it's funny how it's about one of my favourite days in a long time. I needed a day to myself so my wonderful husband watched the kids so that I could take off and go to a coffee shop for the afternoon. I sat and drank and amazing cup of coffee, ate a yummy wrap and bowl of soup and just read. For some reason sitting in a public place has always given me anxiety. I always thought that people were looking at me and wondering why I was alone. Now that I'm a mom I don't care what people think... I'm just happy that I had time by myself!! I ended up getting quite far in my book (Eat, Pray, Love) too. Funny how in the book she talks about American's inability to just sit and enjoy doing nothing. Technically I wasn't doing nothing, but I was doing something just for me for the pleasure of it!
