My Sabbatical Starts!

I have been smiling for two days. Why, you ask? My sabbatical has started. The school year from hell has ended. My wonderful husband has sent me to Baton Rouge for three days by myself. I've been reading, relaxing, shopping, eating, and shedding the toxicity of the last 9 months.
As each hour goes by, I can physically feel the weight of my stress easing off. I feel like I can breathe, and it is good.
Mom is driving to meet me tomorrow, and we're going shopping for bedding for our new bedrooms.
Oh yeah, another reason for the smile is that David and I are buying our first house! We've already sold our house, and apparently have to be out by June 3 (we're going to stay with my mom and dad until our house is ready)....but I'll worry about that when my minivacation is over.
