Next Week...
I am looking forward to next week! I have the whole week off!! Literally.. we are dropping the kids off at my parents (a 6 hr drive) for the week. Initially we were hoping to be able to go on a vacation, but that's not going to happen due to $$.. so instead I decided I'm still going to drop the kids off and then get some work done at home! So I have big plans of completely cleaning and organizing our unfinished basement, so that when we have the time and $ it will be cleaned up and ready for work! Also, I'm sure me and hubby will go out a few times.. have some reconnect time. Ever since we got married I've either been pregnant or we had kids, so it'll be nice for us to have a little time for us.. although sometimes I wonder if that makes me a bad mom, wanting to have a week off? At the same time, being a 'single' mom for so long takes a toll (being the only one responsible of taking care of the kids and household, as hubby works away from home). Either way, I don't think I need to make excuses.. my kids are going to LOVE being at grandma's house for a week! they can play outside to their heart's content, they get to play with puppies, they get to see uncle J and auntie V... they get to go for quad rides with grandpa and help grandma water the plants :) it's a kids paradise at Grandma's house :) The nice part, I get to work on home projects and the garden for more than one consecutive hour!! lol.. anyway, here's a peak at the fun at grandma's house from last May

I think it's perfectly find to want a week off ;) Keith and I will be taking 2 weeks away from the kids in a month, and I can HARDLY WAIT! We also really need some time for just the two of us, to say more than good morning and good night!
How fun...and there's no one else better to send your kids to than Grandma and Grandpa...I know Tate would LOVE to visit Grandpa and Grandma all the time if he could! :)
yeah, I know the kids are going to have so much fun :) I know what you mean Stacey, about wanting to spend some time just the two of you, and quality time too, not just good morning and good night :) lol
OK, I'm back, because I thought of something else to say :) Seriously, one day your kids will leave the house for good, and it will be just you and Kevin. Do you want to wait until then to invest time in your marriage and have some time alone? I think not :)
that is so true Stacey.. I think that is how a lot of marrages disolve, and there are so many divorces after 20-25 years of marriage... after 20 years the kids leave home and it's like two strangers living together.. that's why it's important to keep working on the relationship and not just letting the kids keep you together!
