(no subject)

I suppose I should be actually proud of myself. I explained to my mom that I wasn't sure how much time we'd be able to spend with them over winter break as I hadn't had a vacation in about 7 years without having to be "On" to deal with relatives. And I needed an actual vacation at some point. My dad missed the point entirely and was promptly corrected in unison by myself and my mom...I've been trying to figure out how to approach the subject and was nicely given an opening in a conversation and took it. Didn't want to hurt feelings, but darn it...I need a break sometime, and being with family isn't always a break.
