Supposedly I am working on my dining room, putting up a project a week to show you all my progress. Except this week I unexpectedly find myself with three kids in Costa Rica, where my internet connection is spotty at best, and I'm writing this post on a computer that does not have a right-click mousepad (why do they make this?) and so I can't even figure out how to put up a picture of the paradise I'm in.
And I didn't do a darn thing in my dining room.
Lest ye crazy robbers want to attack my house, rest assured that the Mister had to work and is still at home. As are the rats.
That's right, I took three children under six on a five hour plane ride by myself.
That's a mistake I won't be making again.
Actually, it wasn't that bad. Except for the landing, which was of the variety where you ask the pilot "were we shot down?" as you get off the plane. Princess and Peter were screaming "LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUUUUUUTTTTT!!!!" at the top of their lungs, in between dry heaves. One child had a death grip on my arm, while my other arm was busy holding a barf bag under the other child's chin. Normally I would feel all "omg, people must hate us", but this time I think the majority of the other passengers were looking at me with pity and thanking their lucky stars they weren't me.
In any event, we are here for a week, and get back the day before the next One Room Challenge post....so don't have high expectations for that one either.
There is no right click on this computer (seriously, wth), so my ability to make links and pictures is severly compromised.and thus I don't have the giant blog list. Peruse one of my old blog posts for the list of other participants, or see the button on the side bar. (I know, I am totally getting voted off the island this time.)

You are a brave lady! I hope you are having some well-deserved R&R in Costa Rica. Although, I don't know how possible that is with three kids in tow (speaking from experience)!!
ReplyDeleteHa! My kids are older now ... but boy do I remember those days! You are a brave SAHM in CR!
ReplyDeleteHave a ball, take lots of photos and enjoy these precious moments ... there is always a room challenge in our lives, but this will never be recaptured!! XO
You're one brave lady!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I would have the patience to take that trip alone so I bow down to you....
OMG - this sounds like some family version of "Survivor". Hope you have a blast & get t relax sans any voting-off-island business.
ReplyDeleteI like your adventurous spirit! Have fun..all the projects can wait!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous. Not about the plane ride, but about being in CR. That sounds like paradise right now. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteUm, Costa Rica? Awesome! Flying with 3 small kids by yourself, not so awesome, but I tip my hat to you for having the courage to try! Good luck!
