Escape!

Ever wanted to escape where you're at? You know, just sell up and hop on a boat, or drive a continent, or go do something extraodinary?

I wonder if I could do that. Give up my securely comfortable rut, take my son's education into my own hands and just go. It's a very appealing thought, but the horribly practical side of me recoils in horror with all the "but's" you can think of. And yet, I really don't have many ties. Everything's paid off and self-owned, I don't have a pesky husband to talk sense to me. Just me and the kid, roaming the world, or living a dream. We've had worse, living the rut and barely making it. We're used to living on little. We could both do with a change of scene, a little adventure.

I guess it's possible. But that leap of faith is scary to even think of, never mind take! I'll have to relegate Escape from Life to the One-Day-I'll-Do-It box in my head I guess.
