Assuming you're not co-sleeping, and you wake up before the kids (fat chance though), then you're in for some good 5 to 10 minutes of time alone. It really feels great too. Plus you can bask in the sun:
Feeeeels great!
The moments you share with your first cup of coffee is so precious, it's almost like you'd be uninterrupted for the next 3 minutes.
If you have anything to do, do it now. For example, this one hour window of "vacation" will let you do all kinds of things like: actually sit and relax on your couch. Remember how that felt like?
It's a trip nonetheless, and assuming the kids aren't on your tail, you're going to take your GD time with it. Hopefully the trip back doesn't sadden you more because they could mostly be bills.
Your precious alone time in the shower is the best kind of vacation that happens without fail every day! Sometimes even twice a day!
Don't get me wrong but diarrhea is the perfect excuse to have some alone time, plus allow your bowels to reset itself through the rear exit of your body. It might be painful, but some vacations are painful.
If you're not a stay-at-home parent, or don't work from home either, then this could be the longest vacation you take from Monday to Friday. If 8 hours of "vacation" a day isn't enough, I don't know what is.
You get to listen to your own tunes instead of "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands." Depending on the jam, sometimes it's a "vacation" not worth taking.
So tonight is finally the night you're not on bottle duty and that means you can go crazy with your guys. Except, probably not because bottle duty might resume when you're home and you don't want to be drunk out of your face when duty calls. Still, quite a fun 3 hour or so "vacation."
Assuming you haven't taught your kids to take the trash out yet while you relax with the latest episode of The Voice, then the trip from home to trash bin can be quite fun. I usually take the slowest walk possible - ie. 3 minutes. Fun times.
This is heaven! It's like all of a sudden, you're at a beach resort with your partner, lounging, laughing and generally just doing nothing but relaxing. A good 6 hours of rest from this "vacation" we presume.
