I SHOULD miss them more...

So the kids are at the beach with their Dad this week.  I'm feeling a  little guilty because while I do miss them A LOT I feel like maybe I'm not missing them enough?  For example:  I've slept until atleast 10 am the past two mornings, I had other people's kids over for dinner last night and ENJOYED hanging out with them, my house is picked up and has been for 48 hours and I'm LOVING IT, I'm getting to watch whatever I want to watch on TV ALL DAY.  Really, haven't seen a cartoon in days.  Jealous? 

I've also decided that working from home rocks.  I get to hang out on my laptop all day and edit pictures of other people's adorable kids.  Is life supposed to be this fun?  Am I dreaming? 

Don't worry, people, I know I'm livin' a dream and my days are numbered.  The kids will return on Friday, as will the endless messy house, stupid cartoons, early mornings, and summer boredom. 

For now, though, I'm going to try to mentally block that reality!

It's always nice to have some mommy alone time! It's like the minivan commercial where the mom gets in the van to have quiet time - always makes me laugh. Here's to peace and quiet! :)

You need a break too! My cousins and uncle came in town this weekend (my aunt stayed home with her mother) and she kept asking them to stay longer. Enjoy your break!!!
