Have to Get Away

Sometimes, no matter how much I love the boys and how wonderful and cute they are, I need to get away.

I know Amber spends far more time with them than I do and probably needs more of a break, but we have really learned to appreciate the weekly break we've been getting. Amber's parents have been taking the boys overnight once a week for nearly a year now. This allowed us to go to choir rehearsal and not have to pick them up at 10 or 11pm. It also gave us a full night of sleep, which made us appreciate our little ones even more when they came back.

Yesterday, I came home from a long, boring day alone at work. I was feeling quite sick and not in the mood for wrestling and yelling. Daniel had been in one of his "bad boy" moods all day and wanted to jump on me the minute I got in the door. We ended up calling Grandma and Grandpa and they took the boys overnight. I went to bed at 9:00 and slept right through until almost 8:00.

We are going to be moving in just over a month. 7 hours from Grandma and Grandpa's house. So, we need to get all the breaks we can now. And both sets of grandparents are happy to get a little more time in with the boys before we leave, so this should make for an interesting next 5 weeks.
