Please someone bring me back to reality! How pitiful do I have to be that I am truly having a pity party for myself that I don't get a "vacation" this summer?
I have absolutely nothing that should allow me to be feeling sorry for myself; my kiddos each are getting special trips this year. My oldest went to Chicago for a week for a missions trip, they both are going to church camp and my youngest will be going to cheerleading camp for a few days. My money is where my heart is: my kids.
So tell me, why am I in a slump tonight that has caused me to leave the healthy eating bus at the depot?
My kids go to a private school that we must sacrifice daily to afford. We again sacrifice to make sure they enjoy their summer and get experience that allow them to grow emotionally and spiritually.
I don't need a super crazy trip to a private island with my own personal concierge, or an African safari where I get to see and touch endangered animals. My wonderful husband and I am taking off the week the girls go to camp to spend time together and whatever we do will be awesome as we will get to be together with no kiddos!
Side note for the future: my job is good; I enjoy what I do but am definitely not making Fortune 500 any time soon. I would love to be able to make enough that having a nice family vacation would not phase our finances :)
Pity party OVER! Time to go on a walk/jog to work off these hateful feelings!
