I just scheduled eleven days of vacation for early next month.  I’m not going anywhere, just staying at home.  I’m not even going to have company either. 

I had to schedule it because Dennis will be going to Germany on business and I need to stay home with the kids since we really don’t have anybody who can babysit them while I’m at work. We had thought of packing up everybody and making a big trip out of Germany but I’m not so sure I want to do that with a 7 month old baby. I rather wait until they’re older so at least the older one can remember it a little and we could leave the strollers and play pens at home.

The downside of this is that I’ll be using up every last one of my vacation days for the year which means that I won’t be able to take any time off for the holidays. That’s OK tho.  I’m looking forward to the eleven days alone with the kids. It will be a nice vacation from everything. Sure I’ll have kids to look after but that’s no big deal for me. I’ll take them out during the day and go to the park or the mall and make it fun for them too.

God forbid, tho, that anybody gets sick during those days. Now that would completely ruin the whole thing.
