Have You Ever Felt Like...

Loida Casares Ruiz

Have you ever felt a little bit like the Ashley Judd character in “Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood?” Not the part where she beats her children with the belt, but the part where she runs away to a motel on the beach in just a coat over her slip. And with a bottle of vodka too. Yeah, don’t forget the vodka. Do you ever feel like that? Sometimes I do. There I admit it. Sometimes my life becomes so overwhelming that I just want to run away.

So instead of totally running away a business trip comes up just in time. I’m going to New York in October and my husband is coming with me. He usually does. There have been times that he doesn’t, but it’s a nice vacation for him too when he does. He plays while I’m in the conference and we meet up in the evening and it’s romantic to be out of town without the children.

In two and half short weeks we will get to run away together like that for five days and I am counting the days until my escape!
