January and bikini -- two words that just don't go together!!

Good News!!!! My wonderful, hard-working hubby has won his company's yearly incentive trip!!! This year we're headed to Jamaica, YEA!!! Bad News...it's at the end of January and my body is in no shape to be in a bikini!! Seriously, January is for resolutions that are supposed to get us into the swimsuits in June. I'm missing a few months between resolution making time and bikini time.

But what's a girl to do?!?! This girl is kicking up her workouts, trying not to snack and thinking positive thoughts as we count down to the fun! Now when I say fun, I believe I failed to mention that this little trip is KID FREE! Yep, that's right, we will be getting 6 days and 5 nights to ourselves! (Somebody pinch me!)


(If anyone needs me while I'm away...You'll find me in that third lounge chair holding a fruity drink with umbrellas in it!)

I must preface all of this blissful jabbering by saying that we owe our families big time for stepping in and keeping our precious, easy-going, trouble-free, perfect little ones during our little get-away! (Did anyone pick up on those descriptions?!?) But who could turn down an opportunity to spend a few days with these cuties:



So, let's run through some of the statements I will not hear on this stay in nirvana:

Mom, he/she is looking at me!
Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, MOMMMMMMM!
Mom, can you wipe me?
Mom, can you put this dress on Polly Pocket?
Mom, what's for dinner?
Mom, I don't want that for dinner.
Mom, can you wipe me again?
Why can't I, Mom?
But why?
Mom, he/she is touching me!
I don't want to go to bed now!
Mom, what's for breakfast?
I don't want that for breakfast?
Mom, can you tie my shoes?
That's too tight, can you tie them again?
That's too loose, can you tie them again?
Can you wipe me?


You get the picture, right?!?!? But what will I miss hearing most of all? "I love you, Mommy!" spoken from the sweet little mouths of my cuties!

Instead, I guess the beautiful sounds that I'll hear during this escape will sound something like this:



Feelin' alright~
