Summer, or "the most wonderful time of the year, at least in terms of peace & quiet"
In a couple of days, our household will shrink by 50% for seven weeks.
That is if you count each person once. If you were to count each person using a points based system where points are awarded based on frequency and intensity of obnoxious behavior, we're looking at about an 92% reduction.
And while I am competent enough to realize that somewhere around week 3, I'll begin to miss these damn kids quite terribly, right now, I'm just looking forward to a little "vacation" from the chaos that constitutes our existence.
I am anxious to spend some quality time with my baby doll, both as lover and best friend. I miss the time we invested into each other early on, when time was limited, and we refused to let the outside world encroach upon it. Now that we have every minute of every day (aside from the hours she spends at work) it's harder to retain that level of focus on us because there's always tomorrow. This summer will be a recharge for us.
Our kids will enjoy their time in Missouri and New Hampshire, visiting their "other parents". I hope they miss us. I hope they miss us quite miserably. I know they will miss the baby, and the baby will miss them. I am sure when they return in late July, we will all have a little more appreciation for this ridiculous chaotic insane life we share with each other.
So here's to Summer Vacation II. Let's get the party started.
