Semi-single parenting ho!

As the kids have aged our ability to both go away for a con at the same time asking Mum to look after the kids while we're away (yes, I live a charmed life and Mum is AMAAAZING) has passed and we rarely do it. However conveniently there are now two filk cons in Germany most years, so I go to DFDF and Phil goes to FilkContinental and everyone is

I'm sure you will all survive the experience, and yes, your mumm is amazing :)

Brian loves pancakes at any time of day (if he can get away with it), but has them with a savoury filling for dinner

Hrrm, I don't count time with the kids as holiday time. I might be particularly grumpy about this because S is going to Japan for 10 days soon.

The France holiday was the most relaxing holiday I have had in the history of ever. We shared with a friend and her kids and it worked perfectly. I actually came back to work ready to come back to work which is practically unheard of. And remained relaxed for at least a week after.

Time with the kids while they are also doing school, deinitely much less on the holiday scale. OTOH I have leveraged this trip to get me to a duckmeet and have a promissory note for a long weekend away sans kids that may mean Mum and I get to a German Christmas market this year, so it balances out.
