Yes. Some days, the "MOM" and the "can you....." can get to you.....but I would go nuts without them (or maybe I already am.....)
DI - I hear ya! They make me insane, and I miss them terribly if they're gone five minutes, at the same time. I'm going to California next week. I have to tell you. I'm ready for a little break. No driving, wrapping ankles, cooking, cleaning, laundry, dishes, etc... OK, I have to work, but I'm staying w/my boss and his wife, and they have the most relaxing backyard. I plan on laying in one of his lounge chairs by the pool at night, sipping cocktails, laughing w/his wife (and she is an amazing cook!).
OK, back to the reality of now!
Jeff - Thank you. You're really too nice!
So, this am S10 and I had "Moments w/Mom" for school... Go early, have a donut, chat w/other kids and moms, leave... My BFF and I planned an alternate "Moments w/Mom" at Egg Harbor Cafe (right next to school). Our boys are BFF's, too... so totally fun breakfast. We laughed so hard, we cried. We haven't seen each other in a few weeks, as both of us were traveling.
And, now, I'm headed out, for LUNCH w/her! LOL No kids allowed. Now, we can REALLY catch up!
THEN, we're picking kids up from school... and going to our fave restaurant (that the kids get treated like kings at!) and having a cocktail or two (right by BFF's house), and she's taking my boys home w/her. My S13 is babysitting her crew of three boys (she has three girls, too!), plus my S10 wants to go.
MINDFULL has the kids covered. I had better find something to do. OK, I already have that covered. I'm psych'd.
Again, what to wear?

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
