Going away for a few days without kids

Post by Ostinato Rubato »

The wife and I are taking a couple days off of work to go to Santa Catalina Island just 26 miles across the sea from the port of Los Angeles. I won this free 2 night stay at some 3 star joint (:lol:) that I've been rescheduling for the past year and a half that I'm finally able to do. :)

I'm lucky enough to have a network of family that can help us with the kids' drop off and pickup at school. My wife and I are also lucky enough to have custody arrangements with our exes that make dumping our kids off on them easy :cop:

Gonna relax :snax:

and fuck :party: :heart:

i will NOT give a fuck about GAB :nope:

Yeah I just did that last weekend for my birthday. Michelle and I went to San Diego and we had a great time, it was good to finally take some time off without Brandon (although he's 13 now and pretty independent so it's not that big of a deal but still).

I still posted at GAB though :lol: But only after she went to sleep :cop:

I think it's really important for parents to do that from time to time. It's a good thing for your marriage and if your marriage is winning, your kids are winning too.

This will also be a break from playing for a few days. It's nice to come back to the instrument with some refreshed vitality, so I look forward to coming home, loading up my KT77's that will arrive to my work in a day or two, and rocking the fuck out :rawk:

Congrats, dude. We had our first ever weekend away from kids at the beginning of the month. It was crazy and ridiculous. Can't wait to do it again.

The rain was the main culprit though we did start too late as well.

I shit you not. I've not had a weekend away since Brodie was born 3-1/2 years ago. I've tried to sneak off to the cabin and without fail his mom calls me after I've been there a day with some sort of "Emergency" like sand in her Vaj or some such and I have to come home and get him.

I just take him with me everywhere now and call it good.
