Hello friends...
Vacation was fabulous. Restful, fun, decompressing - all the things vacation should be. It was over too soon.
I will blog separately about the night at the French Laundry and I'll post some silly photos I have but I wanted you all to know we're back, rested, and happy. We had a blast with our friends, ate well, drank a lot of really excellent wine, and enjoyed our time away without the kids.
We both hope it won't be another 10 years before we take a real vacation.

Hello Blog Readers
Are you still there? It's a miracle.
I've spent my summer thus far busier than I have ever been between the kids and the work. The Peanut isn't loving camp. She's "bored" but doesn't want to LEAVE camp. She wants to just be with me. But then, of course, she yells at me if I pick her up too early. Go figure.
The Bird claims every morning that she doesn't want to see her friends at childcare and she sobs when I leave her and then 5 SECONDS later she's playing and happy and doesn't remember me anymore. She's another one that doesn't want to leave when I come to pick her up. "I'm gonna play another minute, 'kay Mama?" NO. I want, no NEED to leave right this minute. Been here all day and I need the mental break from it all. We're going now!
We (meaning my honey and I, sans les enfants) are leaving Wednesday for a week away to celebrate our 10 year Anniverary (first official VACATION since our honeymoon ten years ago) and to celebrate Carol's 40th. It promises to be a WONDERFUL and relaxing trip with lots of wine, food coma, and laughter. I CANNOT WAIT.
Then when I'm back, I need to launch a web site I've been working on all summer. Scary. I have a lot to do before then so I'm hoping I can actually TAKE that vacation, not only in body, but in mind and spirit as well.
Hope you're having a relaxing summer, seeing friends, having fun, getting tan if you still do that sort of thing. I hope you're having SUMMER as it was intended. I might get to that next year. We shall see....
