This has been a quiet, quiet week. For most of it, I was alone..the kids were with their grandparents and hubs was travelling for work. It was strange to be by myself for so long! It’s been pretty relaxing, but I was ready to pick up my noisy kids Sunday. (And surprise! I didn’t take very many pictures all week.)
June 28
We dropped off the kids with their grandparents for the week, then went to a movie and dinner on the way home.

Hubs went out of town for work, so I took myself to a movie and dinner. The kitties helped me get ready, obviously.
June 30
Hubs was STILL out of town, so I took myself to dinner AGAIN and went to a reading from a couple of the co-authors of I Just Want To Pee Alone. I also got to see a few of my LYTM sisters there.
June 31
I spent most of the day at the salon (I know…horrible, right?) and then finally got to have dinner with my husband.

I didn’t even take this picture, my mother-in-law did. I love how Erv is being held back from running off (undoubtedly), and with a car in each hand.

I really didn’t get much sleep this week, at all. The power of being alone went straight to my head, and made me think I could stay up until all hours. That’s why coffee played such a vital role in my #kidlessweek.

One last get-out-of-the-house-and-see-a-friend night on Saturday. Sushi time with Laura!
The kids are back now, and we have just over a week until SCHOOL STARTS. AGHHH!
I'm so envious 🙂
You're looking so good!
Thank you, Alison! I've been working hard. 🙂
And you don't need to be envious anymore. I'm back in real life now. Real, real life.
I'm glad you were able to relax some without kids! We had almost 48 hours without kids this weekend, and I'm afraid we wasted too many of them sleeping 🙂
Oh, but sleeping is so not a waste when you have kids!!
That little heart on your Texas mug? Right over where I live.
Aw, really? My friend Julie had it made for me. She lives in Orange…is that close to you?
Very, very close. Orange is part of the "Golden Triangle", Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange. I work in Beaumont.
That's amazing, I had no idea! Do you know Julie (Mamamash)? You two would have fun together.
I don't know her. I'll have to look her up. There aren't very many of us in this area.
It looks like maybe she isn't blogging anymore, and I don't see her on Twitter. 🙁
She doesn't blog anymore. I just texted her….I'm totally playing matchmaker, I know, but I really think you two would get along!
So nice to have some time alone! I bet now that the kids are back, it feels like ages ago! Enjoy the remaining summer!
Your pictures are great, and you are adorable. So happy you had a nice refreshing week without the kids!
