No kids. Lots of friends, parties, shopping (even my shopphobic husband has agreed that NYC would be the best place to get a whole bunch of stuff that he needs). I thought I couldn't get any more excited. But I think you might be topping that extremely high level. Oh have a wonderful time. Report back soon!

It does get easier and the fun grows but beware there is a sense of loss when the demand dies down and they really don't need you so much anymore. So in amongst the manic-ness and desire to have a few days of freedom look at what you have and savour it for a second, then go off and regain your sanity and sense of self - ALONE - enjoy it :0)<br/>(I really enjoy your blog - thank you) oh yes – I am in there with you.

Oh for a bit of spontaneity...<br/><br/>No chance. Agree that holidays with children are not exactly 'holidays' - especially if you try to read a book on a sunlounger. Trick is not even to try. It's just too upsetting when you can't get past the first page!<br/><br/>Am mad with jealousy that you're going away without the children. Hope you have a fantastic time. I went to a friend's wedding for 5 days without the children once and I knew that it would have to last me at least 3 years... I almost cried with nostalgia at your pre-children holidays.
