No one prepares you for all the changes kids bring. We haven't gone on many vacations since the kids arrived. Right now we are in Fl. Dh is doing the Iron Man race (140.6 miles swimming, biking, running) on Saturday. We came down to support him and to have a little vacation.
So, currently the twins are asleep and Dh is at a meeting and dinner. I am here. In the room. The TV and the internet are my companions.
I never thought about it before kids. When you are on vacation, you don't have the same resources as at home. Unless you take a sitter or are near friends/family... you are on your own.
My kids go to bed at 7:30. So, that is it. The evening is done. We can sit in the room and watch a movie or sip a glass of wine, but that is it. We are stuck in the room.
I love my kids. I wouldn't change things for the world... but this is the reality. No more going out. No more walking on the beach in the moonlight. No more laying by the pool to read a book.
I'm here... doing my job. I am their Mommy!
Mommy to the Wonder Twins... Wife to an Iron Man... Taking it one day at a time.

You are the Ironmom!
Lucky you ;-)
I have a friend there doing his first IM. Best of luck to your hubby! I am sure he will do great. And you are one awesome Ironsherpa!!
Vacations are strange that way these days. We like vacating with another couple/family so we can either trade off nights out, or at least hang out together.
