This afternoon I’ll be leaving. On a jet plane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again . . .
Okay that last part’s a lie. I’ll be back in a week. I was just really getting into the song.
Anywhooo . . . I’m packing up my suitcase and going to spend a week with my Mexican Lover in the Mayan Riviera. Yes, Willie knows about it. In fact he’s coming along to keep an eye on the boys while I’m getting my fill. No, I haven’t forgotten to pack my obnoxiously large hat and hideously ugly shoes, thank you very much.
And as much as I’m REALLY looking forward to spending a full uninterrupted, relaxing week with my boys, there will be a few pitfalls;
- living with 3 boys in one hotel room. It’s going to get messy and smelly in there, I assure you.
- an all inclusive resort that serves beer. And Willie – who really likes beer.
- 2 of the 3 boys are very loud snorers. And unlike our 4 bedroom house, there’s no where to escape for quiet in a 200 square foot hotel room.
- warm weather causes me to have fuzzy hair and sweaty arm pits. Neither which are attractive.
But I will soldier on, suck it up, and have a great time!
I will not be visiting any of your blogs during this time. Please don’t take it personally. If the resort has a decent internet connection I may log on once or twice, but hey – I’m on vacation. And I have all those 100th-ish post celebratory drinks to get through.
I will however be scheduling some re-posts. There’s a few good ones from the early days when no one but my Mom and Willie were reading. They’ll be new to most of you and they deserve some love.
Oh, and if you were considering dropping by The Only Girl Compound in my absence and stealing all our stuff, or having your way with our backyard ice rink, I regret to inform you that I have hired a private security firm with very large, flesh eating dogs to watch the place. So don’t bother.
Okay – adiós, hasta la vista and all that!

So what if I have OSC (obsessive sunscreen compulsion) when it comes to them . . . they’re not getting a sunburn on MY watch!
Check out the “Roll with Me” page at the top of my site. There’s some good suggestions there.

Have a wonderful time! I’m very envious that you’ll be warm for an entire week.
That song is one of my favorites, btw.

Adios my friend. Have a wonderful time – I’ll miss you. I’m sure your “Mexican lover” won’t mind your frizzy hair or sweaty pits. If you spend enough time with your “Mexican lover” perhaps you won’t notice the smelly room, beer and snoring
Have fun!

I only have one very large man and that is messy and smelly enough. I can’t imagine having a whole gang, but that could be my destiny one day.
Best of luck on your fun Mexico trip. Try not to clean up after anyone. That is like a anti-vacation.
Stopping by from SITS.

Have fun. I’d say “lots of fun,” but I’m too jealous.

Have fun Cher! Sounds awesome! Have a margarita poolside for all of us.

I’M SO JEALOUS. Dang, I wish I were going with you. That sounds like a freaking blast. Even though you’ll be in a room with stinky sweaty snoring boys. The beach makes everything all bettah.
Enjoy!!!!!

Have a blast!

Have a good week. Look forward to reading some of your old favourites.

Seriously! If I were in Mexico and there was a strong internet connection my bloggy family would have to wait – I needs to be all sweaty by the pool!
Have a great time momma – see you when you’re back!
