This Weekend

This weekend is Kevin's "silent" weekend.  He gets the house to himself for two days of silence, reading, naps, and whatever else he wants to do.  Oh yeah, my times a comin'...don't you fret! LOL

Tomorrow, right after work, the girls and I are heading South to Grammy's house.  I won't have internet access, so there won't be any posts here, but I plan to take plenty of pictures of our adventure, so I can share when I get back.

We'll leave right after I get off work, and sleep at Grammy's house.  Saturday, we're all going bowling, getting our hair cut, and generally having a good time.  Maybe we'll shop, maybe we'll play cards, maybe we'll veg out in front of the TV.  Who knows? 

We'll get home Sunday around 6 or 7, and I'll try to post an entry.  I plan on this being a win-win plan.  Grammy sees more of the girls, Kevin and I get some alone/quiet time every other month, and the girls get adventure.  It's all good! 

Oh, and in case you wondered, Brett will be around, but he works most of the weekend, so he's not around much.  I hope Kevin makes the most of this weekend.  Here are the rules of the new plan:

1. The departing spouse and girls must be gone Friday evening, or early Saturday morning.

2. The departing spouse and girls must not be home before 5 on Sunday.

3. Home must only be called upon arrival in Carthage, and again when departing Carthage.  Any other call must be initiated by the stay-at-home parent.

4. There is NOT to be any "honey-do" list.  48 hours of sleep is perfectly acceptable.  If cleaning or projects are done, it's at the discretion of the stay-at-home parent.

Yup, this is the maiden voyage for this little plan, but I think it's a good one, and I'm looking forward to it.  I don't see any losers in the plan.  Does anyone else?  Seriously, I welcome ideas or thoughts.
