I slept in a strange bed last night.

Do you see this bed? Look at it closely.  

You will notice a few things that make me very happy:  

1. It is not my bed.  Which means...
2. There was no snoring person in it last night (observe unsullied half of bed)
3. There was also no child in it last night.  Which means....
4. I got a decent night's sleep.  Which means....
5. I had some 'alone time' at a hotel last night.  Which means....
6. I got to catch up on some work.  Which means...
7. I am a much happier camper.  Which means....
8. I am a better wife and mother this morning.  Which means....

It means that having a night away, on my own - just my laptop and I - is exactly what I need to recharge my batteries and be a nicer person.

Which means that the bed in this picture is worth every cent.

PS You might also notice that the time on the clock says 06:32 am.  Do not be alarmed by this. I am an early riser by choice and secondly, I need to savour every minute of my alone time until they kick me out of here by 11am.  

PPS This hotel, the Protea Colosseum is the most awesome hotel. It is really gorgeous - the rooms are modern, neat, CLEAN, trendy.  The service is also outstanding.  It is my second time here and it might just be the best hotel I've stayed in.  They have done it up so nicely, really cool decor etc.

Sounds nice Tertia. It's always good to remember that time away is sanity producing! I envy that nice, comfortable looking bed!

p.s. What's trendy about the Protea Colosseum? That's an interesting way to describe a hotel! I want details, girl, details

I'm busy eyeballing the Crystal Towers hotel there, dying to get away there me myself and computer.

You are a smart and lucky woman to be able to take the time it sounds like you desperately needed.

You are so lucky your DH understands your need for alone time. The last time I raised the subject of getting away by myself it caused such an argument that I have given up on the idea. Well, not totally, I will just have to be more devious about it!! He wants us to go away for a weekend alone just the 2 of us, no kids, which I am totally ok with but I still need some time to myself and he just cannot understand that. Why on earth would I want time away from him??!!

Congratulations! Sounds fabulous!
