Well I have been blessed with a week off! I am semi-child free this week. Cannon went home with his Grammie and Granddaddy on Saturday. He will stay with them until Thursday and then head over to his Mimi and Pops house. I will finally get him back on Sunday! SO that means a week of relaxation!!! I have enjoyed two mornings of sleeping in so far, and boy did it feel GOOD! My hubby reminded me that I still have one child with me though, so I couldn't take a vacation from growing our child. That's fine by me. :) She isn't too much trouble yet. Just her midnight dance parties is all.
My plans for this week are to get Madison's room figured out. I am trying to decide what exactly I want to do to decorate, so I will just go and look at different options until I find the one I like. I also have a couple of gift cards that I want to use as well. I can enjoy pressure free shopping!! I haven't had that in a while! Cannon is always running around or crying, "MOMMY!!! I want to leave!" So I look forward to a leisurely shopping trip. I will also just enjoy the peace and quiet! I can't remember the last time I was in our house alone. It never happens unless Andrew takes Cannon out for donuts or something. I can't wait to just lounge on the couch watching tv or playing on the computer without having to wonder what Cannon is getting into!
Now don't get me wrong. I do miss my sweet boy. I can't hardly stand it when I call and hear his cute little voice in the background. I want to hop in my car and go get him! But, I know this is a time that I need to refresh and regroup! I was getting a little stressed and over tired these past few weeks and having a three year old added to the mix was making things rough. So that is where grandparents step in and get their Cannon fill while mommy has a break! So this week is definitely bittersweet! I love my little boy so much. He is such a huge part of my life and without him I feel a little empty, but it is important for moms to have this time. I am so thankful for it! I get to have a week of just me and hubby time! WOOOHOOO!

Can I say that I am a tad bit jealous. :) I haven't had any child free time in well over a month. With family visiting, Christmas, a trip to Oklahoma, Nick running a marathon and a trip to New York City, it has been very busy around here. I've loved every minut of it but it sure does sound nice to lounge around and do nothing for a bit. :) Enjoy your time.
