You want me to go away for a week by myself, to a beach with a girlfriend!
Are you sure no kids for a week? No dinners to make, no lunches to make? No notes to write the teacher? What will the kids do? Will they be OK with Dad, what will he dress them in for school? What will he feed them? Will they go hungry? Will they take their vitamins, will they be dressed warm enough? What if it snows when I am away?
My son tried to stow away in my suitcase when I was packing. He told me he would like to go to Florida! Sure you can – but I am not going to Florida, I am going to a Caribbean Island. The D.R. (Dominican Republic), sorry Noah I would love to bring you, but it’s, “Adult’s Only”. But Mom I want to come? I will only be gone 7 days. He said but Mom what if you where gone 1000 days? Well if I was gone a 1000 days, you would be 3 years older when I came back, so I told him 7 days is not that long.
I better go and pack the last of my things, bathing suit, books, sunscreen. No kids, no responsibilities, no worries for 7 days! 10, 9 8, 7 , 6 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – I have to run ….. they have just announced last chance to board for flight #679 for the “Mom’s who deserve a break flight!” HOP ON BOARD, there is still time to pack your case and jump on board!
Talk soon
