There is nothing positive about Michael leaving town. I miss him, the kids miss him, and doing all parenting and home responsibilities for several days without my cavalry is tiring, but it does give me the opportunity to spoil the kids with extras that would normally make me feel a little guilty...without the guilt.
So tonight we had a picnic movie night with pizza, snacks, and Charlotte's Web. The boys can stay up a little later, eat while watching a movie, and not have me badger them about "two bites of this before you have more if that.". They are thrilled. And since I can never compete with the fun-ness of their Daddy, it does give me a few points in the fun department.
After the boys go to bed, I'll have a little movie night of my own with a Bollywood flick I could never watch with Michael.
But, we still miss him and await his return!

Oh it sounds like fun, while missing the Man of the pack. Sorry it did not work out with our schedules for this weekend, it would have been wonderful to see you all again and give you a much deserved break with the kids.
We miss you and love you all so very much!
