Ahh! That 43 number gets to me!
love the numbers friend.
so glad the getaway was good :)
You wouldn't be a true mommy without number 43. Glad you had fun. I'm sure your family is thrilled to have you back.
Well done~loved reading this*!*
It's hard to go do something fun and not have the kids with me. I'm always thinking "M would have loved this" or "K would have a blast if he was here."
Takes some of the fun of it away, but not for too long.
awww the last one is so sweet!
I so love it when my husband has the children for any length of time, his apprecaition for me is renewed every time!
oh getaways are always nice. Glad to hear that you had so much fun.
So glad you had a great time. And that 8 number is a priceless gift all unto itself, isn't it? The recognition that being at home with a toddler all day is HARD is so important for husbands to understand (and so few do).
Cute. Whenever I'm away from my kids, I notice every little adorable child within a 15 mile radius and it makes me miss my own kids.
That sounds like fun! You stayed up past midnight?!?! What's that like?
It sounds simply fabulous!! Except the 43 - isn't the biggest conundrum of parenting? You want a break, and when you get it, you spend much time missing the kids?!
A weekend away is my ultimate fantasy. You captured the bitter and the sweet perfectly.
2 walks on the beach and 30 minutes of massage? You lucky dog.
And glad that you're all okay after that nice weather you've been having :)
Sounds pretty good!
7 times you felt young? SIGN ME UP!!
A great time!
When I'm without kids, it takes about ten minutes before I'm wondering what they're up to and I'm desperate to get back to them.
Sounds fantastic!
woo hoo! sounds fun!
Hurrah for 8!!!
So beautiful.
Every mama needs a break and your break sounded lovely even if 43 other people's kiddos made you miss your own :) It means you're a good mama, breaks and all!
