I heard silence and I breathed. For the first time ever, I took some time away from my kids. I just got back from a fantastic weekend in Vail for a Macaroni Kid Publisher Mom Meetup. Though the weekend was filled with so many fantastic, wonderful and relaxing moments-there is one that stands out the most. When I first got to the hotel room, the door closed behind me, I put my luggage down and explored the room a bit, and I was about to pick up the phone when I just stopped. There was nothing. No noise, no sounds, no crying, no screaming...nothing. Usually when it is silent I run to the next room, wondering what the kids could be getting into now. This time, however, I just felt my shoulders relax and I breathed. For so long I never wanted to leave, never wanted to spend even a day away. I see now, though, how good it can be for both me and my children. In an upcoming newsletter I will write an article about how important it truly is, but for now I am still settling in the relaxation of going away and the excitement of coming back to children that are so happy to see me!
Halloween is just around the corner (no, really, I am telling the truth. October really is almost over), and there is plenty of stuff around town to do! Check it out!
