Well, I guess my pity party needs to end cuz I just up and decided to take the kids to Vegas to hang out with their dad today! I got the idea at 10:30 am, made the final call around 1 pm, dropped off the two girls I'd been watching at 2:30 pm, ran around packing, gassing up, etc. and we were on the road at 4:30. Arrival time: 8:30 pm.
I decided that I just couldn't face 6 more days before Marley could see her daddy. Even with the two girls we were watching as company and a distraction, she was crying for her daddy at night. So, if the kids miss one day of school, the world won't come to an end and I doubt that Student Attendance Review Board is going to send the police to arrest me. I might get a threatening letter but I ignore threats all the time! (Not really.)
So, Marley got to show Paul her loose tooth tonight and right now, although she should be sleeping, she is watching Return to Neverland with daddy by her side. We'll come home Monday afternoon and resume our countdown. . . It will be 4 more days 'till daddy gets home.

The funny thing is. . . I hate Vegas. It ends up being a convenient place for us to go sometimes though because Paul has business so we stay for free. Vegas and Phoenix are our two "cheap" getaways. Oh well, I don't think I was in contention for the mother of the year award for '06. Maybe '07 will be my year!
Thanks Jaymarie!
