I know, I KNOW. It’s only August, but on Friday my Mother In Law called me and told us they had booked their place in Arizona for the winter and will be leaving right after Christmas. They won’t be home until April, which SUCKS. All spring summer and fall, hubs and I get used, really, REALLY used to having at least two nights kid free a month and then when they leave, well, it’s hard not having those nights!

My only hope is that unless they can find some cheap insurance to act as intermittent insurance – their other insurance, the year round stuff is only good for 45 days outside the country, so they either need to get an intermittent insurance for the rest of the vacation in the States, or they will try and find some cheap flights home and do some laundry AND babysit the boys over night.

I am really really hoping that the flights will be cheaper than getting more insurance to cover the gap. Once they have been home for 24 hours, then all will be OK, insurance wise, and DUDE, I will have gotten a kid free night.

Cross your fingers for me please!
