Childless weekend.

Our children have gone to spend the weekend with their grandmother. This is a rare event in our house. Usually the children are only gone for a night rather than a couple of nights and this usually is a once a year event. It is weird to have this kind of time on your hands. I miss my kids but it feels nice just to have a bit of quiet time to ourselves. We went out to dinner, without the kids, last night for the first time in about a year. What a nice relaxing meal it was. My kids will be back tomorrow and I can't wait to have them back but until then I will savor the quiet.
