The Vacation Phenomenom

May 6, 2014

I’m sitting here in a state of quiet relaxation and I find myself yearning to hang with the under six crowd next to me. Say what?!? I’ve been given a license of peace away from tears, temper tantrums and balancing acts and I’m busy making googly eyes with the nine month old next to me! What is wrong with me???

When I’m with my kids, I occasionally (not all the time but possibly far more often than I’m proud of) am excited about the prospect of them going to sleep or a night out away from them. And then when I actually have the opportunity, I spend the time talking about them and missing them. Am I a masochist or something?!?!

I literally feel like my arms are aching to hold my baby when most days I’d complain that all I want are free arms!!! Yesterday I saw a little girl with a mismatched outfit and a rats nest of a hairdo and I almost broke down in tears because I miss mine! Every sports thing I see I want to tell Drew about when I spend most days annoyed by all the sports. Why is this happening to me???

I’ve had long leisurely meals filled with conversation and breaths between bites. How amazing! I’ve had the chance to go to the bathroom all by my lonesome. I have taken my sweet and dandy time doing just about everything I like completely on my timeframe. And it’s been great. But the overwhelming takeaway is that I miss my kids and can’t wait to see them. Those three have really done a number on me…not sure I’ll ever be the same.
