No kids. Lots of friends, parties, shopping (even my shopphobic husband has agreed that NYC would be the best place to get a whole bunch of stuff that he needs). I thought I couldn't get any more excited. But I think you might be topping that extremely high level. Oh have a wonderful time.

So in amongst the manic-ness and desire to have a few days of freedom look at what you have and savour it for a second, then go off and regain your sanity and sense of self - ALONE - enjoy it :0)<BR/>(I really enjoy your blog - thank you)AGuidingLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823333742737762759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845629192350541476.post-28437527605199886132009-04-08T20:57:00.000+01:002009-04-08T20:57:00.000+01:00Loving the post.

I managed to fly home on my own yesterday and it felt so strange walking around the airport, with no child whinging to go in the shops, for food etc and not worrying where they are every two mins, I also managed to kip on the plane for a little while...bliss, so enjoy your freedom even though you will miss them lotsbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093353316834741465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845629192350541476.post-53912191140498424702009-04-08T16:10:00.000+01:002009-04-08T16:10:00.000+01:00you have a fabulous blog award!http://lifeandtimes...you have a fabulous blog award!<BR/><BR/>http://lifeandtimesofmrsb.blogspot.com/moonmammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12913610896884584907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845629192350541476.post-72043978513174680592009-04-08T13:49:00.000+01:002009-04-08T13:49:00.000+01:00I MIGHT know where you're going...love your blog, ...I MIGHT know where you're going...love your blog, will be back to catch up - I don't think those are "back boobs" I think they are wings!!

Oh for a bit of spontaneity...<BR/><BR/>No chance. Agree that holidays with children are not exactly 'holidays' - especially if you try to read a book on a sunlounger. Trick is not even to try. It's just too upsetting when you can't get past the first page!<BR/><BR/>Am mad with jealousy that you're going away without the children. Hope you have a fantastic time. I went to a friend's wedding for 5 days without the children once and I knew that it would have to last me at least 3 years...Maternal Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075679022964297682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845629192350541476.post-84521893931743541352009-04-08T11:07:00.000+01:002009-04-08T11:07:00.000+01:00Enjoy your time of freedom ...

(if you are sensing a little jealousy from this very cold Canadian you would be right) Sigh<BR/>It does get easier! Sunscreen is applied faster thanks to spray cans of the stuff, they can be reasoned with to leave their hats on and I can now sit on the beach with a corona in my hand and watch my babes jump in the surf --only up to their knees!--but I can watch.
