Thoughts of Friday push me along. As I arrive at work each morning I look toward Friday to get me through the week. Friday is my goal, the golden ring I reach for. I wish for Friday every day. I'm wishing my life away....
This weekend is a big one - the beginning of Spring Break. I have to say goodbye to the fruits of my womb for a week. My man cub is leaving to go to his dad's in another state for a week, and my woman-child is headed to Florida with a friend.
This means I get a full week without kids. I can eat at 10:00 p.m. if I so choose, and it doesn't have to be nutritious. I can eat dessert and nothing else. I can watch rated R movies late at night on surround sound (loud). I can listen to music as loud as I like at any time of the night. I can drink too much wine and get tipsy or drink even more and get drunk.
My heart aches as they drive away, but my head is excited. I cannot completely relax - ever - unless I know for certain that I will not be needed by either of my children. I get this mini vacation every spring break and 6 weeks each summer, as well as every other holiday.
And so while I am forced to deal with an arrogant, manipulative, drama queen of an ex husband, there IS a silver lining to the dark cloud that is the ex - Mini vacations for mom.
Lucky me.

Yay for you!!! That will be a lot of fun! Try not to miss them too much though :)
It's funny all the things we don't do, like eat junky and stay up late, all because of the kids LOL
Have a great weekend!
Hope it's awesome! That IS a silver lining, I might add--you're right! I hope you'll take long baths while drinking wine and reading super cheesy magazines... That's what I'd do... :)
