After having a three-day weekend last week, coming back to work yesterday was… tough. Really, really tough.  Returning after a weekend is hard enough as it is but when I get a little extra time it feels 10 times harder to be away from Lo and Vernon.

I am happy to report that I requested a week off and it was approved! In just a week and a half I’ll be spending MUCH NEEDED time with Lo, researching bpi training and hopefully relaxing a bit.

I’d like to plan some fun things for Lo and I to do. I’ll definitely be taking her for some walks at the park if it’s not blazing hot all week, but I don’t really have many other ideas. I don’t want to do anything expensive, maybe I can plan lunch with her aunt Lulu. It’s pretty hard to think of what an 11 month old would really enjoy considering usually she’s not interested in it unless she’s not supposed to be!

She’s a total handful but I cannot wait to spend a whole week off with her. The only thing I’m not looking forward to is how terrible I’ll feel when my vacation is over. If one extra day has me crying on my way to work there’s no telling what five of them will do.
