There are many reasons why I think my MIL is fantastic. This photo is a great example of one of them.
She’s always so excited when she gets the chance to whisk the boy away for the weekend, and she always makes grand plans for him. I rarely know what those plans are beforehand and that’s okay. It makes for some nice suspense for him, as he said earlier this week ”I wonder what Grammy’s planning for me, she makes the best plans!” Yep. Not only that but she does things with him either I wouldn’t think of or wouldn’t have the time or money to do.
So we usually get our updates on what they did over the weekend by the photos she sends. Apparently, they met Clifford the Big Red Dog yesterday. I think he’s pretty happy about that, don’t you?!

Is it wrong to be counting the hours until my mother in law comes to get the boy for a whole weekend? Is it wrong to want to be alone in my own house? I hope not! Because at noon tomorrow I’m free for 48 hours!
The last time I slept in this house alone was exactly a year ago. My dear husband (dh from now on) is at the very same conference and the MIL took our dear son (aka ds) for two nights then as well.
I don’t recall doing anything particularly exciting. I only remember not having to cook or clean, being able to watch bad tv all day long, (and not even power rangers!) and getting as much sleep as I wanted without anyone waking me up! Woohoo! I’m gonna do that all over again baby! I might even be able to read. a. book. Shocking, I know.
Of course, I’ll miss my boys, and when they return on Sunday I’ll appreciate them so much more for having been gone, but until then I plan to wallow in my alone time. <sigh>
