I Need a Vacation

I work all day in a breakneck run

Just to come home to another pile of work to be done

And all I wanna do is flop on the couch and die

Baby comes in he's give out too

I say "It's pizza or nothing.

And Trixie's all outta dog food"

I could just break right down and cry

I need a vacation from my life

Me and my husband we need a wife

Somebody who's sole ambition is laundry

I wanna fall asleep on "MY" patio swing

While somebody else does the dishes and cleans

Mariachi's could stroll through the yard and play softly

Wouldn't even have to leave 2523 General George Patton Drive

And I need a vacation from my life

Don't even get me started on Saturday's

All I do is rearrange the clutter

Hey, I invented shabby chic

Who wants to mow when it's so dang hot

Me and baby got a theory about our little half acre lot

If it blooms, it's not a weed

"OH" I need a vacation from my life

Me and my husband we need a wife

Somebody who's sole ambition is laundry

I wanna fall asleep on "MY" patio swing

While somebody else does the dishes and cleans

Mariachi's could stroll through the yard and play softly

Wouldn't even have to leave 2523 General George Patton Drive

Oh, I need a vacation from my life

Me and my husband we need a wife

Somebody who's sole ambition is laundry

I wanna fall asleep on my patio swing

While somebody else does the dishes and cleans

Mariachi's could stroll through the yard and play softly

Wouldn't even have to leave 2523 General George Patton Drive

I need a vacation from my life

"Oh i need a vacation from my life"

"that's Right"

I Need a Vacation...Rebecca Lynn Howard

This song as been going through my head over, and over, and over again lately. I work forty sometimes more hours a week...Hubby works closer to fifty or more hours a week. Kids are at daycare 3-4 days a week, depending on my work schedule. My house is a mess 'cause noone is ever home to clean and when we are home it's the last thing we want to do. With the temperatures in the triple digits, yard work not getting done. Yep this song just so suits my current mood. I would love to have someone come in and clean my house, do my mountain of laundry, mow the yard, weed the garden and flower beds so Hubby and I and the kiddies could take a trip and get away from it all. The beach is only about an 8 hour drive away. I would also like someone to watch the kiddies a couple evenings a month so Hubby and I could go out. Shoot one evening every couple of months would be more then enough. We could go out and see what Beale street is all about (I've lived around Memphis for nearly ten years and have never been to Beale Street...can you believe that). We could stroll down, check out the pubs, bars, restaurants and stores, get mugged (well it IS Memphis, lol). Or we could go down to Tunica; to the casinos; eat dinner, lose some money...rent a room...mmmm. I would also love to take a riverboat ride. The possibilities are endless with the time and money and usually we end up with never having enough of both at the same time, it's either one or the other. So do I get any volunteers? Any one want to come and clean my house and babysit? Hmm? ((listening to the deafening sound of silence...and crickets chirping))
