Bring on the weekend




Shh. I have a secret and I’m afraid to jinx it. I’m sooo excited. This weekend, my husband and sons are all 3 going on a campout! I can hardly stand the anticipation. I’m trying not to act too excited, I don’t want to hurt their feelings as I’m rushing them out the door.

It has been years since my 3 guys were all gone at the same time. They used to do it pretty often, but then my oldest moved up to Boy Scouts so they camp on different weekends from my youngest, who is still in Cub Scouts. But this weekend, the Boy Scouts have invited the 5th grade Cub Scouts to camp with them! And the dads have to go with the 5th graders!! I am doing a happy dance.

Now you may be getting the idea that I have great huge plans for my weekend alone. Sorry to say, I do not. But just being alone will be enough. Just imagine it. Peace and Quiet. For 2 whole days.

I will be working alot of the day tomorrow. But it’s actually kind of nice to be able to work without interruption. Because that is rare, my kids never need me unless I’m working. If I’m trying to work then without fail there will be a crisis that must be dealt with immediately.

Then after work, the fun begins. I rented a movie that only I want to see. I’m having a snack with my movie that no one else likes (guacamole and chips, I’m such a rebel)I’ve picked out a book to read on Sunday morning, if  I have time after sleeping late. Such decadence. I may not be able to adjust to my normal, crazy life when they return. Is it wrong to change the locks?

Just kidding. By Sunday afternoon I’ll be missing my guys so much that I won’ t even care that they’re bringing me bagfuls of damp, stinky laundry to do. But until then, I’m going to enjoy my quiet time.

        Sounds lovely! I can’t wait until I get such a situation – I hope my oldest stays in Boy Scouts long enough for this, my younger boy is a Webelos I still. Actually I can’t decide if I’d prefer all 3 gone at once or just both kids, leaving me and DH to ourselves… both sound pretty good.

        I know what you mean about the mountains of laundry though – camping seems to generate HUGE piles!

        Robyn, my plan may seem too tame for a weekend alone, but it’s perfect for me.

        Katherine, either way would be nice, but it’s even more rare for the kids to be gone and me and my husband left alone. That doesn’t happen much at all, so I’ll take this when I can get it.

        And yes, huge piles of laundry and it’s not just a little bit dirty, it’s filthy! I guess that means they had a good time though.
