Mama's Little Secret

I am so over February

The calendar claims February is the shortest month, but this one seems to be dragging on and on and on.  First the bullshit in Minneapolis with my mom, which after hearing some of your mom horror stories in the comments of my last post, makes me think I’m not the only one with a batshit crazy parent. Then there were 2 massive snowstorms that closed school and pretty much made me a prisoner in my home for days on end.  Couple that with a 6 month old puppy wearing a giant plastic cone on his head and stitches in all 4 legs and in that special spot between his legs he’d really like to lick if we took the giant cone off.  I’m so ready for March!

My husband and I leave for Jamaica on Tuesday, leaving the kids and Cone Dog with my in-laws for the week. I have already started the paperwork for school and Grandpa (notes for the teachers and instructions for Grandpa), and have plans to put together some school snacks ahead of time, and pack complete outfits for the girls so there hopefully will be no skinny jeans drama from my 8 year old. *fingers crossed* Grandma and Grandpa will have their hands full, but I know they will love every minute of it, as their grandchildren mean the world to them.  Besides, I’M GOING TO JAMAICA, WHO CARES WHAT THE KIDS DO ALL WEEK!
