For most people, the day after Christmas brings a halt to the insanity that has everyone running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Not in this home! No sir, we don't like to keep things boring around here. Since Bobby & I met in person and married in the few days after Christmas, our anniversary falls the day before New Year's Eve. Add to the fact that our daughter's birthday lands smack dab in the middle of January (usually around Martin Luther King Jr. day) and you've got one busy, tired family. We love it all though...
This last week, however, Bobby & I took a break. We sent the 2 little ones to my Mom's for 2 days and locked ourselves in the house. We slept like we've never slept before, ate delicious food, and played Rock Band for hours. (Who doesn't love that game? Seriously?!) I cannot stress enough how wonderful it was to have time alone where we could talk to each other, goof off, and both of us eat at the same time. I believe every parent should take one of these "getaways" at least once a year, with a 2 night minimum, if possible.
On that note, I'm so blessed to have a husband who takes the time to do something so valuable for our marriage and sanity. I'm even more blessed to have parents who love my children and take them for a few days.
Now, let's see if I can lay low and stay off the radar until mid-February... Yeah, right.
