Have you ever seen the movie with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, where they switch houses as a form of vacation? One of them comes to America, and the other goes overseas? I can not for the life of me remember the name of this stupid movie. Anyone?
I have been thinking a lot lately about not being able to take a vacation with the kids this summer. It's making me sad. Even my ex has planned a weekend camping trip with them, and I got nothing. It is taking every cent I make just to pay the bills here at the apartment. The important thing, and the thing I am most proud of, is that I am doing it, and it feels good. I have never lived on my own before, and I am loving it. I just wish I had enough money to go on a semi-vacation with the kids.
Did you know that you can actually do a home exchange as a real vacation? I thought it was just something they made up for that movie.I think it would be cool to be able to live in someone's home for a week or so, and not have to shell out any money. Of course, that would also mean I would have to be okay with having someone live in my house for that time. I would probably pack up all of my elephants so none got broken, because sadly, that is what is important to me in my home. My elephants.
I wonder how far I would be able to travel? I would love to find somewhere within driving distance, though with the price of gas these days, who knows if that would be any cheaper than flying somewhere. That said, I would have to want to fly, which I don't. I guess the kids and I will just stay home and enjoy my mom's pool.
