We’ve had a tradition now with the Parker’s for the last few years now. This year, our tradition was threatened when I went to Jacksonville for a much needed relaxing mommy trip, and finally some one-on-one time with Cecilia.
My trip was more fun than I could have ever dreamed. I did things like just sit in the bed until 3:00 in the afternoon just ’cause I could, I went shopping and actually got to LOOK at everything without having to say, “No, stay right there. I need to be able to SEE you” and “I KNEW I should have attached that burp cloth to my clothes because now I have spit up ALL over me” and “Never mind…I’ll go shopping in my next life”… And the time I got to spend with my sister was absolutely priceless. We actually got to TALK. It was awesome!
But not even that could keep me from the tradition. I got back into town late that afternoon, we all went to the Gill’s for dinner and then headed to the Rose’s parking lot for fun and fireworks (and we wouldn’t have missed the ice cream truck!)
I love all my peeps!
