Busy life, happy woman

My life is busy. I am working like a dog but loving my life. I can't even put into words what it feels like in comparison for me. This thursday my children are leaving with their dad for a 10 day vacation. I have mixed emotion. Of course the biggest issue for me with them leaving is missing them and worry that I won't be there for them. I know he will take care of them and I even emailed him my concern for my own peace of mind. The flip side is looking forward to having the house stay clean after I clean it up. To not having gum stuck to things, the dog covered in goo, no crumbs thrown about and no drinks knocked over just before leaving for school. I can go to the gym when I want and go out when I want.

It's a mixture of dread and glee and hard for people without kids to understand. (I know my new man doesn't fully get it but he lets me be me so it's all good.)

Well I better get back to work! Take care all!

I totally get the mixed emotions! It is EXACTLY how I would feel in your shoes.

Enjoy your time... you will miss the hell out of them, but you will also have 10 days to yourself, to remember who you are. Take advantage of it:)

Tell you what, I'll send MY two up to you for 5 days. That way you aren't soooooo lonely for 10 days AND we both get 5 days without my kids!
