You see, the situation I have is, I work three jobs, and am very busy. I do what I can, around the house, including the cleaning, cooking, laundry, bill-paying, financing..and sometimes I think I'm losing my mind and need to just 'get away from everyone' - including my own children!!
Is it wrong for me to want to take a holiday without my family??? I feel bad that I even think this, but, over the course of 12 years, all my money and work and energy has been for the kids and hubby, and I feel like I am being smothered, and want to break free. I dont' mean like, for good, but just for a while. I feel impatient, tired, restless, and eager to just find some quiet time, without ANYONE bothering me or asking me questions, etc...
I guess it would be a holiday from work, family and friends - because to some degree, they ALL bring on stress in my life....
So, is it wrong for me to want to get away from my family, and do something for 'me'?? ((guilty))... :-(

I was just thinking about the same thing myself yesterday, I'm just not sure what my hubby would think of the idea!
I think it would be great. Go somewhere for a few days with friends. I would love to go on a cruise or to a spa getaway with some of my best pals. No kids, no husbands, just me and relaxation. Don't feel guilty, you need the time to unwind properly if you can find the time to get away. And in the long run, it will make you a better person, wife and mother.

If you want to try something completely different, go to Dubai. It's in United Arab Emirates. You'll have a lot of fun. A lot of sight seeing, it's safe because everyone pretty much minds their own business. There's water parks. Huge, never before seen, crafty malls with different mood and feel for a wonderful time to shop. Nice Hotels of different price tags. Good place to go However, it is extremely hot down there so make sure you're packed ready

I think working so much does not allow you to enjoy life. But at the same time its always nice to be away from things that get on your nerves. I still don't understand how can someone have the time to work 2 or 3 jobs, i'll kill myself. I have one good paying one and that's enuff.

You can't take care of others properly if you don't take care of yourself first.
Spa weekend with the girls is just the ticket. Wine country is nice too. Or even just a weekend away with the girls sitting around laughing and talking somewhere away from home. You deserve it and you need to tell yourself that and believe it.

There's nothing wrong with that. We all need time alone to recharge. If you take care of your needs, such as quiet time alone, then you will come back rejuvenated and probably a more pleasant, happier mom and wife.
That's why on airplanes they say to put your oxygen mask on before you put your child's on, because if you don't take care of yourself, how can you take care of anyone else. Enjoy your time alone with no regrets, you deserve it!

you really need to cut out the middle man and cut down on work. that is your problem because you already spend so much time away from them with three jobs. get one good job and see if that doesnt help out with the stress,a vacation would be good for all of you and i mean good. they arent going to be young forever.

You absolutely should take some time for yourself. It will give you a chance to "recharge the batteries" ,so to speak. And when you return you can be a better wife and mother to your family.

No, I think that'd be fine as long as you don't end up on a Singles Cruise or something!
