TIME OUT!!!!

I need a time out!  No, really.  A good one.  Like a week with quilting frames, no kids, my sewing machine, someone to cook healthy food for me to keep me fueled, and time . . . time to finish all my projects and get my house perfectly in order and start thinking about baby #3 . . . . .

And I need a Time Out with just Isaac.  Time to play and to sing and to dance and to jump and to count to ten and build a sand castle and bury him in the sand and chase birds and play ball and crash his cars into walls and find safe things for him to bang 'til his heart's content . . .

And I need a Time Out with Abby.  Time to sing and color and dance and swing on the swings for hours and hours and slide down the highest slide at the playground and play with her "baby" and buckle buckles over and over and over again and cuddle and read stories and jump off the sofa onto the floor and . . .

And I need a Time Out with Dave.  Time to talk and play games and read books and go backpacking or just for long walks on country roads and go to the temple and take pictures and make memory books together and take dancing lessons and sing off key and rock out to AC/DC and Michael Buble and lift weights at the gym and go for a nice evening run or a long bike ride or a day hike to a waterfall or a 2,000-year-old tree and cook some elaborate-tasting dessert to go with his famous BBQ Ribs as we host a summer BBQ and play ultimate frisbee or other games with friends. 

Someone needs to invent Time Out Land -- where families re-connect for as long as they need.

Until then, however . . . I guess I better figure out how to create my own Time Out Land!  When I get it pulled together, I'll send out invitations! ;-D
