free as a bird?

well, it felt very much like that, yet, i feel a little bit empty inside.

i just sent off my "boys" on a 2-week holiday to madrid, spain - my husband and 6-yr old son, that is. sadly, i could not get off from work to join them in this particular holiday since i have committed myself to work extra weeks this summer in order to get some things done ... there's an awful lot of things to do that i could not go around my schedule.

we have mapped out this madrid-trip as early as february this year. alex looked forward to his visit at his aunt's and my hubby have 4 weeks of holiday to spend for the month of june. i was originally booked to this trip but had to cancel (problem at work) - sometimes we do have to shift our priorities and i do not have the heart to disappoint my child. and so my "boys" went on to go on holiday ... and i have to stay behind. this is a first - i miss them already!

somehow, my only consolation is that when they return, we will all go and visit the västerås' power big meet and then spend a weekend in stockholm. i'm sure it will be one great outdoor fun for all of us.

should i feel like free as a bird? it remains to be seen ... i just wonder how much "work" would greet me when i get home. hmmmm ... either way, it will just be another day - but without the two loves of my life by my side.
