This day has been way too long

Do you ever just want to run away from your family obligations?  I do.  Between my mom and my children, I’m being pulled in a few too many directions today.  Fortunately, my Mom is feeling better (no worries, nothing really wrong, just a moment of self-induced drama), and the children and their friends will eventually go to bed.  I will then dig out the chocolate, grab the dog, and hunker down with a junk novel.  All should be well by the morrow.
