We had a nice lunch at Outback and handed the kids over and they went on their way. They will be spending 11 days at my parents house and they couldn't be happier. Me on the other hand, what do I do with myself? Not even 24 hours after dropping them off I was so sad b/c I missed them so much. How am I supposed to spend 9 more days without them?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">I went home yesterday after work, made dinner, the hubby took me to a movie, went home and was in bed by 10. I haven't had a day like that EVER. Oh and I even gave the dog a bath because I didn't have any little people to bathe. Its very weird around the house without them. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm so happy they get this opportunity to spend some time with my parents and all their little cousins. They miss them so much throughout the year and they truly cherish this time they get with them. I guess the next 9 days include lots of cleaning, sorting through and getting rid of lots of toys, clothes, shoes. Maybe having a yard sale or just simply dropping it off at Goodwill to avoid the yard sale hassle.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have asked my mom to take lots of pictures and send them throughout the week so I will post them as I get them.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6468193862373760795-160981984810621837?l=theriseofthelikens.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15564407622176319978noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468193862373760795.post-77310723627957774602009-06-19T09:20:00.000-07:002009-06-19T09:35:28.612-07:00<font style="font-family: verdana;" face="georgia">Well I did it.
