to offset the stress and lack of sleep of being "single" parent for 4.5 days (I have no idea how people do that full time), I booked a 90 minute massage on Friday morning. hooray!
I'm also excited to plan our 2015 vacation - my parents agreed to come down to TX and stay at our house to watch Wolverine and all of our animals, so DK and I could take a long trip, overseas. I'm thinking at least 10-11 days in Europe - probably go to 2 countries, and visit a few different cities. I told DK to start thinking about where he wanted to go/what he wanted to do. It's more than a year off - we'll probably go in September, and I still have at least 3 trips to plan in the meantime (PA trip to visit both families, Vegas with my sister, and Dec 2014 family vacation), but I'm really excited at the prospect. To make things even better, when DK mentioned to MIL that my parents were going to fly down to baby/house sit, she offered to do the same. Might need to look at Asia or Australia for 2016. :-D
