The weekend's finally here!! (even if it is raining)
I've been looking forward to this for over two weeks now. It's our ten year wedding anniversary and we've loaned out the kids to my in-laws for three days. We're single and carefree again. It feels wonderful.
A house without kids stays miraculously CLEAN. And you can go out to the garbage as much as you want without explaining to a small crying person that you'll be right back and then barring them from going out by closing the door really fast in their face. Two year olds are little prison wardens. My shackles are free for a few days :P
But to be honest the house is really quiet and it's kind of creepy. Also there's the missing right arm thing. "Where did I leave that?"
We're headed to Paris for some city action. I've been wanting to visit the antiques in St. Ouen just for fun, a little window shopping (or licking as the French say). And we'll probably try to have lunch somewhere and let go of the guilt about not working on the house for a full day and not chasing the kids around. Oh and tonight it's fancy shmancy night in the city.

Awesome! Have a great time! You deserve it! Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! I still remember my stay-at-home Mother saying that the trips she and my Father took very occasionally without their six! children made them much better parents in the long run; enjoy.
Happy Anniversary! Have a wonderful time.
Happy Anniversary and enjoy the kid free weekend!
Happy Anniversary! Have a great weekend!
I love your description of the two year old "prison wardens" - so true!

Thanks everyone. We had lots of fun.

You had me laughing at this perfect description of what we stay at home moms go through with our kiddos.
