O.K. I'm starting to miss my boys!

Just when I was on the edge of a nervous breakdown and ready to run of to the funny farm for some rest and relaxation my mom and Marty came in to save the day! Aren't parents wonderful? They are always there for you especially when you feel you have no one you can turn to, they are there to help in any way they can! My parents had mentioned taking the boys for a couple of days this summer but I wasn't going to call and bug them. Summer came and went and just in the nick of time, 1 week before we get back to the daily grind, that's right school. My mom called and said can we take the boys? You betcha! I love my boys, they just wear me out! Saturday night my parents came in from San Diego and we went to our ward activity, a potluck in the park. They stayed the night and took the boys home with them after church on Sunday. I called Tuesday night and everything was going good so she decided to keep them till Sat! Steve and I are having the best time being what feels like newlyweds! We are so good together, he really is my best friend! So what have I been doing with all my free time? Long runs, sanded down and painted my bathroom(which is a lot of work!), cleaned out the garage, went through all my old baby clothes and gave them away, hung up my curtains, mopped my floor, wiped down the walls and doors, taken several pilates classes, and not cooked a single meal all week, and lets not forget the coveted uninterupted watching T.V. and resting! As great as this has all been today I miss my children! I'm tired of cleaning and working. I'm all rested and ready to do what I do best; be Jacob, Ben, and Lucas's mom! I'm so grateful that my mom and Marty were able to take the boys and bond with them. They will never forget the memories they have of these times. I never really knew my grandparents that well so my boys are really lucky! As am I to have such wonderful, loving, and giving parents that I have. Thank you Mom! You'll never know how much this time means to me and how good it has been for the boys, myself, and my marriage!

WONDERFUL! I'm so jealous. I'd love a vacation at home! All those projects that never get done because of the little people. It sounds like you've taken full advantage of your time. Saturday will be a sweet reunion I'm sure, but I'm glad you're living it up in the meantime. Good for you! Your parents are awesome!

You two need to go away somewhere while you can. Go to dinner, movies, play, play, play!!! Stop working around the house!

Awesome! I remember staying with my grandparents when I was a kid, and it was always so much fun! I didn't realize then, how great it must have been for my mom, too!

I've been thinking about you all week and wondering what you'd done with your free time! Sounds like there wasn't much of it! It's so much easier to get things done w/out the interruptions. I'm glad you had a great week with time for projects, time for Steve, and especially time for yourself! Now you're rested and ready for time with your kids! That's awesome!

I already miss my boys, we had a great time and they were very good. I was a bit worried that they would miss you to much and cry for you, but we were just fine and we had some good fun together, so now that I know all will be well with them you can call me anytime if you get overwhelmed and need a rest or time for yourself. It's funny how much they behave when your not around and they can't go running to you.

How awesome that you were able to take a break! I think my mom needs one right now. I think I'll offer to watch everyone while she and dad go on a date or something.

What a fabulous Mom & Marriage rejuvenator! Just being able to take time to do whatever you want on your own time while the kids had a great time in their grandparent's care. That is so awesome of your Mom! And it was enough time to make you long for your babies again and be SO happy to receive them back into your arms. SOOOOooooo happy for you!
