How wonderful. As I write, we have had a whole night alone and, in our house, that is more unusual because of my mother than our teens. She lives in an in-law suite in our home and it is a great arrangement for everyone and we love her. But last night both our kids were in Toronto and my mother was with my sister – the house was ours!. We had dinner, saw the movie Hope Springs (which is great for a couple like us who have been married a long time especially) and we slept in little, had coffee by the river. Ahhhh. The sheer joy.

@mariaf Hi Maria – Oh, I can only imagine how much more challenging it is when your kids have health issues. Hubby will take a mini-vacay on his own, and I will do the same, but we just rarely get away together. In your case, you need and deserve to take that mini-vacation for yourself too! Even if you have to do it alone or with a girlfriend, it’s worth it!

Lucky you Julie!! Are you getting out of town?
Our twins are 3 and 1/2 and due to health issues, we’ve only been away from them for one night together. However, it seems Daddy has been away for more than a few mini-vacations. Why is it Daddy’s always have it easier ?!
