Some thoughts

What I am looking forward to:

Choosing what time I wake up, not being woken by a human alarm clock
Not having to check my top for spew before I go out the door
Being able to go out at any time of day
Not having to pack for 5 people
Not having to take a water bottle, vegemite sandwich and banana with me everywhere
Catching up with some special people
Being able to stay as long as I want in the shop of my choice
Staying up late and sleeping in
Shopping
Seeing LA and (cliche time) the Hollywood sign
Seeing the lights of Vegas
Not having to decide what to cook every night


What I am going to miss

The sound of my kids giggling
Miss 5mths gurgling as she drifts off to sleep and her big gummy smile
Miss 2 saying 'roos!' every time she sees a kangaroo and her kisses
Mr 4's totally brilliant drawing and his big cuddles
Hubby, in general, but particularly how secure he makes me feel
The clean air and bright stars that I am already so used to
My car and driving (may have to hire fancy pants car to take for a spin along coast)

But, oh my, I am so utterly totally 100% fantastically excited right now!!!
