On missing my children.

I haven't seen my kids since Sunday. My parents are doing a lot of my childcare for me in August and my mum took them her place in Surrey for the week. They have had a fab time - been to see some horses, watched Toy Story 3, been to Chessington World of adventures. They haven't asked for me once!

And it's been lovely having some alone time with my husband. It's taken 3 days to have enough stuff in the dishwasher to justify running it. And I've only done one load of laundry.

God I miss them, though. I keep peeking in their rooms at their empty beds. I'm going to get them today and I can't wait to squish their little bodies in my arms.
