Short Escapade

There was a line in Adam Sandler’s movie “Bedtime stories” where he said that if a hotel is too much like home, one might as well just stayed home.

And I understand that perfectly.

It’s not that we want to escape home – but home comes with many responsibilities and there are times when we just want to forget those responsibilities for a short while.

Apparently, my daughter understands that part of me well too now as she explained why our recent Miri holiday was a good thing – “Mama will get to rest and she can watch TV or read her books. If she wants anything, all she has to do is call Housekeeping“.

!!

But she was right actually – to some extent. There were many things I did not have to do although it also meant that I had to be extra vigilante about making sure that their physical and verbal energy and exuberance do not get us kicked out – and that probably did not happened because both rooms besides us were vacant…

So it was not some fancy Branson getaways in the USA but this short break over the Brunei border was enough to recharge my energy to face all that I need to handle as a mother to 3 handful children.
