Every year the daycares in Finland are closed for the month of July, so that the staff can have a month off. Plus most of the country spends July at their summer cottages anyways and daycare isn't needed. This means that from July 1st until the day we leave for Canada, I am home with two kids.
Looking back, I'm not really sure how I survived October, November and December being home with a newborn and Maddy. Because it's been two weeks and I'm finding myself in desperate need of a vacation.
Lucky for me, we leave tomorrow for Canada ("we" meaning the kids and I). Yes, I am travelling on a 9-hour flight with two kids by myself. Call me crazy? That might be, but I know two sets of grandparents in Canada who are dying to see their babies, and a very beautiful bride-to-be who has asked me to partake in her festivities.
I am looking forward to seeing my family and friends in the County, but am also looking forward to spending a week in Banff with Alison and the girls for her wedding. Still not quite sure how I will look in a grey bridesmaids dress but that's not really the point. I will have a week without a husband and kids. I think I'm kinda excited to have the opportunity to sleep in and have uninterrupted nights. Whether my body wakes me up at 5am every morning instead? We'll have to see.
And hopefully the kids aren't too awful for their grandparents....
