Back to Reality...

I've been blessed to have a somewhat "kid-free" weekend...I really needed one! On Friday, I got to have an "adult only" lunch with an old friend, and on Saturday, Jack and I spent the day and night at a friend's cottage in Michigan.


Here are the great things about spending over 24 hours away from your children...

...a very quiet car ride (and maybe even a few winks of sleep caught)

...being able to read 60 whole pages of a new novel

...well-rested neck muscles from not having to spin it in one hundred directions every hour

...Peace and Quiet!

...getting to sleep until 8 o'clock in the morning

...not having to serve anyone their food

...no crying allowed

...one summer sun-tan

and...the BEST thing is...

...coming home to a little girl saying, "Mommmmmmyyyyyyyy....we made you a surprise!" and a little boy bee-lining and crawling as fast as he possibly can to get to his parents.
