I’m packing and organizing and trying to contain my excitement for my 2 1/2 days and 2 nights here.
I’m also annoying the crap out of my husband by leaving detailed lists like this:
We leave Sunday (yep–we’re flying on September 11th). A girl has to do what she’s gotta do.
In accordance with the much-publicized Talusani vacation curse, I woke at 3:30am Friday with a nasty stomach bug. Violent little shit, that bug. I was so upset and worried that I’d have to cancel our trip, but happily, I feel much better today and by Sunday, I should be tops. Unless I catch Miss M.’s cold, which she came down with last night. Ah, the joys of back to school. The beginning of germ warfare.
Mama and I wish you all the best of weekends, and the beginning of the week. All we plan to do is spa, nap, read, walk by the water, eat delicious food and laugh. You all will be close in my thoughts; in fact, I imagine you’ll be right there with me.
Much love,
TKW

Have a fabulous time!
Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!
You girls have a great trip! Travel safe and enjoy.
Of course you are going to Dana Point! It is only fitting! I have heard nothing but amazing things about that resort. Enjoy every minute of it and soak up the warm ocean breezes for me! xoxo
Laguna Beach! Yowzers.
Throw a starfish back into the ocean for me!
Have a wonderful time! Enjoy the time together, relax, read some, nap much. Can’t wait to read all about it! And I love the lists. I make them too. He ignores them. Probably yours will too, but it all works out in the end.
I believe those detailed notes *might* actually be followed! You know what’s sad? It’s my hubs who has to write those to me. Especially the homeless part. I’m pretty sure I’m the worst SAHM ever. ; )
Wait does this mean we don’t get to go? You are leaving us behind like a wet, sandy beach towel? Could we at least have a picture??
Fine.
Have a wonderful time, enjoy every minute and let the germs fall where they may at home….Orphans are very endearing.
♥
Looks like all your ducks are in a row! Have a great time! And I know how you feel, my husband takes my daughter to school after I have gone to work and many times I asked…”Daddy let you go to school like that?” :)
Kitch,
Have wonderful time with Mama! The place looks like heaven on Earth…May your days (and nights) be bug-free and your travels be safe, friend.
BTW, the few times I have left the hubs alone with the kids overnight, the lists are endless. Mine are usually detailed by child and include itineraries…Just sayin’ great minds think alike…
Enjoy this special time. You BOTH deserve it! ((you))
How could he not love that note? I write those to myself…
Have a wonderful time!
Hope you get a much-deserved, relaxing break. And that resort – wow – looks fabulous!
Have a wonderful, relaxing time ladies and we’ll look forward to some rockin’ posts on your return x

I hope you time with your mom is full of wonderful things. I’ll be thinking of you and sending you good thoughts.
Have a great time!
Have a LOVELY retreat, dearie. ♥
No vacation curse! I am willing it with my magic powers. (And you know what kind I mean ;) )
Oh enjoy!!! I hope you both really, really, enjoy!!
Oh, honey. Enjoy your time. Take in every moment and hold it tight. This is a beautiful time for you and your mom to have. I will be thinking of you all weekend. I’ll do my best not to let my children look homeless this week – just for you ;) hugs
Sending Love and Restorative Wishes from just up the coast.
Enjoy! And I love that side note..”don’t make them look homeless.”
Brilliant!
Enjoy! Can’t wait to hear about the cocktails you’ll be sippin’!
Hoping you make many wonderful memories! Have a feeling your girls are in good hands.
1. I love the “don’t let them look homeless” note. I totally need to leave detail notes like that next time I leave the boys with their father.
2. I shouldn’t have looked. Now I’m envious.
3. Oh, wait. I’m going to Vegas in Oct. Without kids! And I’m getting there early before my friend so I can hit the spa alone because being alone is now a luxery.
4. I’m doing this list thing tonight. Hope you don’t mind.
5. Have a blast! You and your mom deserve it!
Have a blast!
But on the side, the ‘do not let them look homeless’, isn’t that asking a bit much, after all your husband is only human…
Have a wonderful time! S-u-n-s-c-r-e-e-n.
I am definitely with you. Eat, drink, and be mary. Um…. merry.
I am so, so happy you’re doing this. It looks like just what you and Mama deserve. Sending both of you so much love. xo
I’m hoping you girls have a fabulous trip!! I’m putting a curse on the germs so you don’t get sick.
This trip is so important. Wishing you and Mama lots of goodness. xoxo
Have a fanTAStic time. Sending lots of hugs and joys and happy happy hours. xoxoox
Have a wonderful day!! Enjoy!
Hope you’re soaking it up!! It sounds lovely.
have a good trip with your mom!!
Hope every moment was heavenly. If anyone needs a vacation, you two do.
Enjoy!
So glad to hear that you went on a girls’ night out and out and out with your mom. I hope you had wonderful magical time!
