While the kids are away

So, Carson and McKenzie are spending the week with grandparents. We left them there last night, after we took them to Lagoon, and we'll be back to get them on Thursday night, when we come home to go to Mesquite for a family reunion. I took the baby with us, but the other two get to stay and play all week long with family. And I'm sure they are LOVING IT!!!

Here is a little poem I wrote about MY OWN thoughts, since I've been home...


So many things I can do today
Without the kids getting in my way
I can clean, I can shop, I can blog, I can play
So many things, when the kids are away


I'm onto the dishes, the laundry and more
While quietly Maddie plays on the floor
No voices to beg me to play "Dinosaurs"
Even the cleaning isn't such a big chore


It's nice to hear SILENCE, in my house today
No fighting or whining, while the kids TRY to play
I haven't heard crying, or wiped tears away
No "twinkle little star" in my head all day

I'm excited to see James, when he gets home
It's been quite awhile since we've been all "alone"
No more thoughts of kids "walking in" anymore
He is ALL MINE! There's no need to say more

So many things I can get done today
Without the kids getting in my way
I can workout, and nap. I can "Facebook" all day
So many things, when the kids are....(sniff*sniff)...away.


Okay, fine. I'm all talk. I miss them like CRAZY and it's only 9am!!!!


See ya in a couple of days guys! I love ya! Have fun at Grandma's house!
