I’m thrilled you found a moment to chat during your business trip. Sorry I missed your earlier call; I couldn’t hear my phone over the delightful chaos here. Just a typical sibling squabble, nothing too serious—no bloodshed this time, thankfully. It’s a good thing the kids decided to use all the Band-Aids as stickers while I was in the shower!
How’s Your Trip Going?
So, you’ve already wrapped up your meetings? That’s great to hear! You’ll have some time for sightseeing now? I wish I could join you; it sounds like a blast. Honestly, I haven’t ventured outside much since you left, except for school drop-off and pick-up. Yesterday was a whole different story, though—I had to drag the kids to the grocery store in the pouring rain after one of them spilled the last half-gallon of milk while I was preoccupied with a diaper change.
Hotel Room Views
Oh, and those photos you sent of your hotel room? Stunning! The views must be incredible. You should see what’s outside our window this morning. The neighbor’s trash can blew over, and let’s just say, it’s a real eye-opener seeing how much garbage one can pack into those bins!
Missing You
Is that massive hotel bed as comfy as it looks? You must feel a bit lonely in all that space. I always have a tough time sleeping when you’re away, but thankfully, a couple of the kids and the dog joined me last night. I didn’t have much room to spare, and I only got kicked in the face twice!
Business Dinner
By the way, your business dinner looked amazing! I wish I could share a photo of my dinner, but you probably wouldn’t be impressed by reheated pork roast. The kids weren’t too thrilled either, so we’re having ramen noodles tonight. But hey, we do have one thing in common—wine! Yours likely didn’t come from a box, though.
Was that lobster and filet mignon on your plate? The candlelight made it hard to tell, especially since the kids managed to crush my glasses while wrestling at the dinner table. Oh, and I hope you were serious about getting a new TV because ours has a crack now.
Wardrobe Management
Were you able to keep your dress clothes wrinkle-free in your suitcase? Good to hear! I’m just trying to manage my own wardrobe while dealing with a little one who seems to have caught a stomach bug. I had no idea so much could come out of such a tiny person! Luckily, I don’t have any plans to go anywhere—unless we run out of milk again.
Excitement at Home
You’re finding your meetings a bit dull, huh? Let me catch you up on the excitement around here. I’m all done with the laundry! Well, it’s clean at least. Still need to fold it, but as I started, one of the kids cried because he turned his bubble gum into a mustache-scarf combo that got stuck in his hair. Yes, that was a fun 15 minutes!
Oh! I caught the toddler trying to insert a screw in his ear. Thank goodness I was walking by at the right time. And the dog? Yeah, she got ahold of some pork rinds, and now they’re half-digested on the carpet. I’m not sure how that happened, but one of the kids must have fed them to her while I was cleaning up the peppercorns spilled all over the kitchen floor.
Enjoy Your Sightseeing!
Time for you to enjoy your sightseeing! Have an amazing day. I have an exciting afternoon planned too, with a new episode of Paw Patrol! It’s not the same watching it through a cracked screen, but at least it’ll give me a solid 30 minutes of peace to sort through the kids’ school folders and figure out what homework they’ll need help with later.
Feeling a little guilty? Maybe just a tad. It’s not like I’m off on any trips—unless you consider my adventures to the store for milk with all the kids in the rain. Can’t wait to see you when you get back. I know you’re eager to return to your little slice of luxury. Love you!
