Mini Vacay

There is nothing like two days away from your kids to realize that two days away from your kids is not NEARLY enough vacation.
M and I had so much fun in Biloxi. We ate well, he gambled, I sat by the pool, meditating on margaritas and pelicans. I read a book. I slept for 11 hours each night AND took a nap. Now that I am refreshed, though, I'd like to go back and party.
Such is life, I guess. I have been on very few vacations that lasted too long (strangely, those that come to mind involve my children. I don't think I've ever been on holiday with just M and wanted to come back to my "real" life.)
People in casinos amuse me. A little old lady gave me a lot of slot machine advice. A little old man was just bursting to tell some one (me) about the $80 he won. And this random couple told me the machine I just sat down on was never going to pay. People have a strange mix of camaraderie and competition at casinos. Somehow, they are sure it is a zero sum win--if I win, they can't and I better not mess with their system/chair/machine. But also, there is still the common nemesis of the House. Everybody has their strategy to beat it.
We, naturally, didn't beat it. But we certainly enjoyed staying at it! The weather was so beautiful. I sat gulf side in a lounge chair for 4 hours. I got up twice to cool off in the pool. When was the last time a mom didn't have to move for 4 hours AND didn't have SARS? Relaxing. Quiet. Nappish.
I want to go again today.
