I am happy to report I survived my 4 days of solo parenting in Florida and made it safely back to Toronto with both kids yesterday afternoon. I was really looking forward to crashing and having an uber lazy weekend at home, however, that was not to be. Not that the alternative is too bad of course. My mom decided to go up North to their cottage in Coldwater and we asked if she wanted some company. So last night I unpacked all our shorts and t-shirts and repacked a bag of warm clothes so we could leave this morning for Casa Barco, their cottage near Coldwater, Ontario. My mom also went skiing today and we could have joined her but after travelling yesterday I just didn't have it in me to try to get all the kids' ski gear together and get out of the house in time for that this morning.
So here we are up North chilling and BBQ'ing our dinner. The kids are watching a movie and all is blissfully quiet. Even the dogs - there are two of them including our Snickers and my mom's dog Schnitzel - are calm. Looking forward to another calm day and night before the chaos of the new year really begins anew.
My dad is at home with a nurse who comes daily to help out and make sure he is okay. He is recovering, albeit pretty slowly. Hopefully that will speed up as he starts to eat more and exercise. Here's to a better 2012 than 2011!
