A Mini Vacation

Do your kids like to go places and stay for awhile? Mine sure do and they are spending their annual WEEK LONG mini vacation at Grandma & Grandpa's. So who gets the mini vacation - we all do. It is totally awesome that G&G "ask" to have T & S for a whole week. The cool part of the mini vacation that they left Tues. and come back after the weekend is over. Now that is a cool mini vacation.

I usually come up with a BIG LONG LIST of things to do while they are gone, but that BIG LONG LIST does do not get condensed to much. But I am really trying this time, what did I do different? - here is my secret - don't make a big long list. I feel so much better, knowing that I can relax and get some projects done.

Sarah has a birthday party coming up next Saturday and you know how it is if you are mom- gotta clean this and that and make sure this and that -- when 99% of the time the kid (guests) don't even care(notice) that your house is clean. But there will be that one parent (who drops off their kid - to get them out of their hair for a few hours), will notice that big dustball on the tv. And you know who they are...

As usual I'll probably be cleaning the night before and getting all ticked off, because I'll have so much to do and so little time left.

So I am enjoying my mini vacation and hope everyone can get a mini vacation.

Enjoy Life!
