While the Mom is away

I had the chance last week to go to Las Vegas with my best friend and her brand new baby girl. She was going home and her husband was not able to go, so I decided that Sunshine and I would go with her. So Alan, Little Man and Princess G stayed home.

I had a great time in Las Vegas. I just mostly hung out and relaxed. It is really what I needed. Life has been so busy. Sunshine loved being an only child for a week and having Mom all to her self. I was able to surprise my Grandma and spend some time with her. It was nice to not have to be on the go all the time. We just visited and had a good time.

I came home on Wednesday afternoon. It is nice to go away, however it is better to come home. I was so happy to see Little man and Princess G. They had so much to tell me. All about school and their after school clubs. It made my head spin a little. But I really enjoyed hearing all about it. However I found out there where some things they tried that they would never have gotten away with if mom had been home. Oh the joys. It made me laugh. Kids will try anything and everything.

You just have to enjoy the little things. I know as a child I tried the same things they try. I guess it is all a part of growing up. I am so glad we only are children once. I am not sure I could do it again.
