things i was able to pack into the 24 hours without the kids.

(in order)
1. Make myself a massive (somewhat gluttonous) lunch without the kids eating half of it.
2. Watch Fashion Television without having to listen to Curious George in the background.
3. Lounge around on my bed reading my Hobby Farms magazine with peace and quiet.
4. Have a bath without Rhys asking what time it is.
5. Get ready to go out without breaking up a fight over a toy.
6. Buy a big bag skittles without having to buy something for the kids...or having to deal with them crying for candy.
7. Go and see a non-kid friendly movie (Couples Retreat).
8. Buy a bottle of wine.
9. Stay up late without having to worry about getting up at the crack of dawn.
10. Slept well past the crack of dawn.
11. Get ready in peace again :)
12. Go out for a breakfast buffet and actually carry on a conversation with my husband without being interrupted a million times.
13. Write goals for our next two years without being interrupted a million times.
14. Drive in the truck without having to explain the itinerary for the whole day (something which Rhys has become obsessed with).
15. Go to Chapters and spend an hour quietly looking at books without having my limbs torn off of my body in different directions.
16. Get overly excited to see the kids on our way to pick them up.

I want to thank the blogger very much not only for this post but also for his all previous efforts. ...

one great quote...

"whenever i get gloomy with the state of the world, i think of the arrivals gate at heathrow airport. general opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, i don't see that. seems to me that love is everywhere. often it's not articularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there. fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. when the planes hit the twin towers, i have reason to believe that none of the calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge, they were all messages of love. if you look for it, i've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around." -Love Actually
