Paris update: A big thumbs up to daddy!

So, I went to Paris this weekend and had a wonderful time with my friends (see video). When I came back — with a slight headache — I found daddy and the girls cuddled on the carpet playing chess, the kitchen fairly clean and the dryer droning away quietly in the background. I quickly went outside and checked the house number. Yup. Right house. To rub it in, they were all smiling contently. Didn’t miss me a bit. I have to admit to being slightly annoyed: Why didn’t I do this years ago??

    I think all mums should have a weekend away together at least once every six months – benefits all round

    I liked the music. Very 90’s corporate movie. Have I told you I was envious? You inspired me to take Saturday off 🙂

    Hopefully the first of many great trips (and of great weekends for the small people with Daddy)

    Wow, what a lovely video. Love Rodin’s The Kiss. And how nice that you didn’t walk back into chaos.

    That was the best 2 minutes 24 seconds I’ve spent in a long time!

    I just gained 2 stones after watching your video! Thanks for sharing, I’m headed out there next month, can’t wait!

    YAY! Your video was lovely – really made me want to hope a jet and go. I wouldn’t even care if the laundry go done in my absence.

    Mwa — exactly!

    Couldn’t they just do the decent thing and fall apart in your absence?
