A Vacation? Really?

My husband is taking me on a short vacation.  I mean really on vacation.  Oh, he will have to work, but I don’t.  I don’t have to watch hockey!  I don’t have to do laundry!  I don’t have to cook!  I don’t have to get the girls to school!  I don’t have to get up at 5:00 am to let the dog out!  No no no none of it.  A real honest to goodness V A C A T I O N !

He and another coworker have to go to Deadwood for meeting the end of the month and I talked him into taking me and coworker’s wife along for the ride.

We are leaving the girls home with the dogs and cats.  I think they will all survive although DJ is already beginning to fret.  She is such a momma’s girl.  But it will be good for all of us.  I just hope she doesn’t worry herself sick like some other little girl I used to know.

The last time Mr M and I went away on our own was August of 2000 when we went to Jordan to fish the Women’s tournament and Grammy and Papa and Aunty C stayed with the girls.  DJ would have been just turning 6 and JD would have been 7.

We will leave on Monday and return Thursday evening.
