Weekend Getaway...Sort Of

Friday night I spent the night at my niece's house and went to the Halloween party at T&C. I guess I am a dance snob. I was bored and missing my FW friends. Of course, if I went to the Dallas dances more often, that might not be the case. However, I really enjoyed going out w/ the gang afterward. Saturday morning, Vince called and woke me up. He hurt his back and had to cancel our lesson. I was really bummed - especially since I was already in Dallas. But...no one at home knew I didn't have a lesson...so I went shopping! I haven't had a day to myself in five weeks. It was great!

I'm starting to get frustrated w/ the fact that I can't leave mom at home alone. It's not her fault...but coordinating schedules is a pain in the butt. I can't even go the grocery store w/o someone being w/ her. That means even when I'm home, someone else is there. I'm tired of feeling like I have to entertain and cook for an extra person. When I got home Saturday, I took a 2 and 1/2 hour nap (my sister was still there). I feel like I can't get enough sleep. I don't know if I'm getting sick or just exhausted. Saturday night, mom went to my brother's house. She had dinner w/ them and watched the trick-or-treaters come and go. My sister asked me if I wanted to do dinner. I said I wanted an evening to myself. I enjoyed my 2 hours of being alone. That all ended on Sunday...
