Enjoy the silence
I am sitting in a hotel in Orlando. It is a very nice hotel, one I would never afford if I had to pay the bill. It is beautiful, comfortable and well, lonely. I am all alone. It is very strange. I don't know what to do with myself. I know you all think I am nuts, your at home surrounded by kids want to kill me right now. "Whats your problem woman! Take a bath, go shopping, swim in the pool!" I think the reason I feel so alone is that I have just come off the most amazing holiday with my family. The kids loved Disney. We all enjoyed it so much. It was so amazing to experience Disney through the eyes of my kids. I didn't know that I had a dare devil for a 4 year old, he loved the roller coasters and scary rides. The kids were so well behaved, we barely had to raise our voices. D is such a trouper. Since our trip was so short we were at the parks for 4 days straight and he walked, and walked, and walked and never once complained. So here I sit, alone at the hotel, surrounded by quiet. All alone. It will be a very long time before I get this much time to myself again, so I should really just sit back and enjoy the silence shouldn't I.

awww so wonderful that the family had a good time!!!!
Enjoy the silence ... I wonder what that is like :P
I understand completely -- in fact in my post today I was just saying I can't even think about travelling without the kids, I get all teary eyed!
I can't wait to hear more about the Disney trip with the kids. Tell us everything!
I feel your pain. We always want some 'me' time and when we get it we don't know what to do.
Glad you had a wonderful time at Disney, they say it is Magical.
Yes, I think you're crazy. I have only been away from G one night EVER!! But...at the same time, if I really think about it, it is possible that I would be lonely too! So...go take a ride on a roller coaster!!!
i think you can enjoy it and still miss your kids.
it's OK
SLEEEEEEEP!
Glad your trip was so fun but it's hard to come down off of such highs, especially to be faced with alone time after that.
I'm so glad you all had such a great vacation! And it's so true, that now that you're all alone you feel sad and guilty... it happens to all of us! But I do hope you are able to go enjoy some alone time - yes, go lounge by the pool. Listen to music, read a book in peace, sleep, and SHOP! I can't wait to hear more about your vacation.
looking forward to seeing you again! when do you come home? i thought it would be tonight but i can't remember what you said.
i know it feels lonely when your family leaves...hotels can be very empty. but i hope you tried to relax and enjoy some of the silence, enjoyed watching what you wanted to watch, read in the early evening, etc. i'm sure your family misses you just as much!
on another note. K and I saw some more deer while running last night! have you been running my dear friend? :)
I hope this is just the transition time for you, from full-speed to slow-go...so you ultimately enjoy both equally.
