gets to

kyle flies out to NYC tonight.  redeye (eek)

he "gets to" hang out with old friends (scott)
and new friends (adam & amy).

he "get to" have a break from the kids--not that
anyone is saying they need a break.

(i suppose for that matter, he "gets to" have a break
from me as well!)

he "gets to" go out to dinner.

he "gets to" go to Columbia University all day
Saturday for class and learn new things.

he "gets to" sample some of the most diverse
and best cuisine on the planet.

***************************************

on the other hand,

i "get to" wake the kids up for school, pack
lunches, do laundry, clean the house, go to
Stake baptisms, baptism previews, Activity Day
Recognition Nights, stay up late waiting for
teenagers to come home, make dinners, drive
carpools, shovel snow (heaven forbid!),
wrangle Primary kids, try and wake teenagers
up for 9 AM church (that may be the hardest thing
i have to do this weekend!)


who's weekend sounds like more fun?


i'm really excited for him and this adventure
and the teeniest bit jealous--

have fun kyle.  think of me scrubbing the kitchen
floor on my hands & knees while you're eating
a black and white cookie and snacking on pizza.

oh wait--you're off sugar and i don't scrub
the kitchen floor! i guess we're even, right?
