Staycation.

I love my babies.  Like big time.

All I ever really wanted was to be a wife and mother...and I love that I get to be - every single day.

I love the noise, and the snuggles, and the dutchy language that we speak.

I love the smells and messes and kisses.

But, I also used to love silence.

I used to love a clean house.

I used to love a marked off to-do list.

I used to love a solid 8 hours of sleep.

Dodie and Pop rolled out in the minivan with ALL THREE a little before 8:00 this morning.

Dan leaves after work to go to Laverne to see patients tomorrow.

I AM ALL ALONE....for like 36 hours.

I'm coffee'd up.  My list is long, and serious, and long overdue.

Have fun, punks.

Have fun, Dodie and Pop.
