Kid-free vacation

Can I just tell you what the power of an adults-only vacation has on a mother's psyche?


Wow.


We took a three-day mini vacation to the Bahamas sans-Little Man last weekend. He spent quality time with his auntie and Granny Bulldog and Grampa Stu. Before this trip, I had no idea what slaves we were to his schedule. It was absolutely *glorious* eating, napping, and READING whenever we wanted and uninterrupted no less!

But, before I sound like a candidate for Worst Mother of the Year , I do have to say that I did miss Little Man. Three days was the perfect amount of time. Any more than that and I would have been missing my little guy too much; any less and we wouldn't have had time to relax.

It should be noted that Little Man had quite a time as well. Auntie fed him cookies, cake, ice cream, AND pizza.

Good thing Momma wasn't around for that!
