If you happen to be in the bay area this weekend, you might see me climbing up out of the car to surf on the roof, a la Teen Wolf.
Or maybe I’ll be reclining on the beach somewhere, reading a book.
Whatever I’m doing, I will be SLEEPING IN. Husband, too, so I won’t even have to feel guilty about sleeping in!
Yes, our daughter just turned three, and this is our first weekend alone together. We’ve had some dates, and I don’t want to sound ungrateful or anything, but I think I can count them on my fingers and toes. So this, a whole weekend?! Two nights?! I can barely stand it.
I thought, surely, we are the last of the parents with kids Z’s age to embark on the Big Weekend Away. However, Husband has shared with me tales of parents with six-year-olds and eight-year-olds who still haven’t escaped. If I had one word of advice for those parents, it would be this: Run. Okay, actually, it would be Plan. And have a sucker grandparent nearby to take over. Even the simple act of planning this (and believe me, our planning hasn’t gone very far – we’ve reserved a room and that’s it) has done wonders for my morale.
Some other day I will have to post about my blatant and joyful misuse and overuse of parentheses.
Right now I wanna get on the road.
Have a great weekend away! You guys deserve it! We have to catch up next week!!
Sounds great, Melanie! Thanks!
Good for you, Beth. May these weekends come more often for you two. Melanie is right. You do deserve them.
Enjoy your weekend! 🙂
Omg, I hope you have a GREAT time!! Enjoy your break! 😀
Wa-hoo!!! Good for you guys! I hope it was a great time away and there weren’t any sightings of Spiders of Doom!!
