Marko, the kids and I are off on a four day, three night holiday to a hot springs holiday resort. Am looking simultaneously excited and terrified. Excited because I really need a break, and more importantly, I need to spend some quality time with my husband. It has been too long.
And terrified, because this is the first time we are going away with the babes. We are so organized at home, everything works like clockwork. It is a little scary leaving all that behind and going into the big unknown. I am petrified I will leave something vital behind.
But, it is going to be fun. I am actually looking v forward to it. My version of ‘roughing it’ is luxury accommodation, but with no Internet access. Four whole days without the Internet, how will I survive!
However, because I adore you so, and because I am v v clever, I have done some forward planning for my blog and you will have a lovely fresh post every morning to enjoy with your morning coffee. Yes my dears, I have figured out the “publish on” functionality and done some posts for the days I am away. What a clever sausage I am.
Enjoy, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do (which leaves it pretty wide open) and I will see you again on Friday. You won’t even notice I have gone. Be good.
Smooch.
Xx
Your idea of roughing it and mine are the same, girlfriend!
Not sure you'll get much quality Marko time with the babes in tow, although there isn't much else to do at night when they've gone to bed except shag.
Regardless, you'll have a great time with loads of laughs. Kids seem to love the excitement of a new place with new things to do, and they have you as a captive audience because you aren't worrying about the housework or cooking. It is safer staying home where everything is familiar, but what's the fun in that??
Hope you have a great time, clever you posting ahead!
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy - and esp enjoy NOT having the internet :)

Clever sausage! That's new to me.
You are ever ever so clever.

{rolling on floor carrying on like a crabby 3 year old...} No. NO. NOOOOOOOO! I will not be subjected to pre-fabricated posts while you frolic with Marko.
Oh. Okay. If you must. You may as well have fun while you're at it.
Seriously... it'll be fine. If you forget something, you can buy something to replace it. Their whole world is going to be turned upside down and they probably wouldn't notice 'missing' things anyway.
Enjoy! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.
Smooches! xoxo

Enjoy!
You sound like a friend of mine who I often quote..."If there's no room service, it's camping".

Ha! I love it. I was sitting here chugging my cofee thinking "crap, four whole days..." then when I hit the part about not having to do without, I was greatly relieved. Thanks for the morning smile.

Have a great time - you deserve it you clever sausage, you! Big smooch back at ya!

Have a fantabulous trip! Remember, whatever you leave at home you either didn't need or can get somewhere else.

"Clever sausage"? Now I am going to HAVE to adopt that and use it daily.

Lol, have a wonderful time! Ya'll deserve it!!

Have a great time and we won't miss you..thanks for thinking ahead for us tertiaaddicts!
I've gone away a couple of time and a hotel room is WAY easier than staying at someone's home. The hotel gives you cribs and it's so easy. Things are pretty much baby-proofed already. you will love it. See you when you get back!

ha- on the poll, more people are choosing chocolate as the one thing they couldn't give up more than sleep and sex.

Have fun!!!
Sleep is my firt thing right now...maybe when the babies are older I'll care more about other things. :)

Have a wonderful time and just remember, what schedule mess ups happen while you're gone can be remedied once back at home. :-) I shall miss you but I think its a wonderful opportunity for your family.
((hugs))
