some lines from one of my new favorite songs...

Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day.

Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.

Slow down, you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two...

And that's just what I'm going to be doing this weekend. We were attempting to have one last family vacation before Cynthia moves half way across the country, but with everyone's crazy schedules the kids are just gonna meet our parents at our friend's beach house whenever we're free from work and school these next few days. I can only spare about 24 hours to be there, but I really don't mind driving there just for that. I think best when I'm driving a long ways by myself. Plus the idea of being able to travel so unencumbered for such a short period of time sounds delightfully appealing to me. What more do I need on the beach than my Bible, journal and drawing supplies? So yes, I'm taking the phone off the hook and disappearing for a bit, but feel free to text me ;)
