F-R-E-E-D-O-M!

Yesterday, the husband took L and E over to my in-laws' house to spend the week with them.  We won't get them back until Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.  That's a whole six days without children around!  How exciting!  So many things we can do now without worrying about the girls' schedule!  Yesterday evening, we got a Little Caesar's Pizza and watched Stardust. Ooo, exciting.  I also prepped the hallway upstairs to paint, which I'm going to do this morning.  This morning, I was up at 4:45am to go for a 5-mile run (sans jogging stroller!  yay!), watered the neighbor's plants (she's on vacation), and ate breakfast in peace.  No one trying to steal my food, whine about something else, or ask a million questions about anything and everything.  QUIET.  Too quiet, really.  I miss the girls.  However, it's good for them to spend this time with their grandparents, and for the husband and I to do adult things (i.e. clean, paint, chores, etc.).  I hope they have a good week, and I hope I don't end up missing them too much!
