[blparent] Everyone needs a break

[trishs]

V., I agree with how important "me time" is.  I don't have a 
weekly schedule, but I get out as often as possible.  The 1  
recent thing I've discovered, and look forward to, is a weekend 
for the blind, hosted by our local Lion's club.  A few hours a 
month, and 1  weekend once a year doesn't seem like enough to me, 
so a few girl friends and I are going to plan an anual weekend 
away, in the Fall, up north, in NH..
