The sun has been shining for the last week, and the temps have finally reached the upper 40s to low 50s, which where I live means capri pants and sandals! It makes me want to go soak up some sunshine! Kids just don't seem to be conducive to relaxing in the sun. Walks are tolerable, but usually after a couple of minutes I get "are we done, I don't want to walk anymore" on repeat from W. We could go to the park; but I have a paralyzing fear of taking one year old twins and a three year old who has no sense of self preservation to the park alone. I can barely make it through Costco with my sanity. So the point of this rambling is that I have a BAD case of spring fever.
To make this worse, Mr. L and I have a weekend getaway coming up: WITHOUT KIDS! I love my kids to the depths of my soul but the ever constant fighting and whining is starting to sound like nails on a chalkboard to me. This will be our first time away without our lovely children since the babies were born over a year ago. You know that week before spring break when you were a kid in school? You just couldn't keep your mind focused on anything that you were supposed to be doing? At least back then it was just calculus and the latest english paper, now I have four kids that demand such things as food and attention, and they just don't seem as lenient as the teachers were those last hours before vacation started.
So, I'm going to my Green Day playlist to keep my spirits up and maybe keep me semi-motivated to not put an elaborate escape plan in motion. I'll just have to bide my time and remind myself that my kids are not silently plotting ways to crack my sanity in two. They're just kids, and they do love me. Right?
Once I've reset I'll be back to keep you all updated on my latest adventures in domestication.
