Oh my....

What a crazy six months it has been!! (More on that later). But three weeks ago it was well rewarded with a cruise on the Mexican Riviera. While the country is in a economic crisis and well the remodeling of our house has just been a crisis, Adam and I where sailing on the Pacific Ocean drinking virgin margaritas, basking/baking in 90 degree weather, snorkeling in kool-aid blue waters. (Just the memories alone put me in a state of pure relaxation). This was just what I needed. We planned this trip with Adams family about ten months ago, and once it was time to go, I actually said that I thought we where too busy to leave. I was regretting not planning to bring the girls, had no cruising attire and wanted my money back. Adam told me to buck up, stop being spoiled, and go shopping. (You know I was in a serious state if ADAM, had to tell me to go shopping!) My sister, who also watched the girls while we were gone, told me the same thing and acted as my personal anti-anxiety cheerleader... Adrienne: Wonder if we both die (ie; tossed over board, knife fight in dark alley in Cabo, impaled by a marlin while snorkeling), and we leave the girls orphans?
Aisha: You have two; they'll have each other... and will have had a soap opera for parents
Adrienne: Wonder if this ends up like the Titanic?
Aisha: Ohhh do you think that Leo takes cruises in real life... I want to come.
Adrienne: What are my chances of getting the Norovirus....
Aisha: LUCKY...you get to go on a cruise eat all you want and come home ten pounds lighter, this sounds like a win/win situation.

By the time it was all over, I missed the girls terribly and we where ready to come home but had a fantastic time. I got to remember what it is like to sleep in, exercise without having to put anyone in any sort of child care, eat as slowly as I liked, and spend more than a couple of hours alone with Adam without a paint roller or drill in my hand.
