enjoy your mommy summer camp/vacation! i always accept unneeded sex toys if any are needing a new home :)

Oh, enjoy your well-deserved vacation! Your to-do list has me salivating with jealousy. Whole, complete thoughts? No Barney? Are there people who truly live this way?

And, when you get back and write of what you did for those of us who live perhaps a bit too vicariously through this blog…

Please go ahead and LIE a little. ;)

How about this stuff?

What about putting the light-shielding for their window(s) on the outside of the house? Would that solve the dangerous access aspect? Is it even possible?

My thoughts were the same as twizted’s, above. What about a retractable awning? That way you could have the sunlight in the winter if you wished it.

i hope you have a glorious few days.

We had wooden shutters on the outside of the house - they were a dream for bedrooms as you can have the light shielded with the window open at the same time.

Another thought, though this might fall into the ‘too hard and too expensive’ category - replace the window(s) with the kind that have the blinds between the glass. I’ve seen some that have a detachable control mechanism, thereby keeping said mechanism out of exploring little mitts.

Just recently I had 24 hours alone…I can only imagine what a week would be like!!!

Enjoy yourself, and try not to miss the little ones too much.

You will get your book proposal done, I have no doubt.

Enjoy your child-free time!

I have faith in you — you’ll get it done! Enjoy your vacation, darling. We will be here when you return.

I agree, window darkening film on the outside. If the buggers try opening the window, nail it shut ;)

I snuck out as a teenager. I know all the tricks, therefore, and also plan to have a security system with window alarms, lol. Can’t sneak out if you set off the alarm!

Good Luck!

Enjoy your time, you deserve it.

If I appeal to your femdom side with a little begging, will you take me with you? I need a vacation!

Wow!.. Enjoy the vacation AAG!.. Sounds like you have a great plan…

And good luck on the book proposal…

I don’t know what “tools” you use for your proposal writing, but might I suggest one that I love- TreePad Lite. It’s very good for collecting and organizing info about a subject.

Also, there’s a fantastic tool for research and writing. It may go further than you want to, but it deserves checking- Zotero

Now, as to the toys you’re going to clean out.. How much begging do I need to do?

so um

who wants used toys? i wanted to give a USED ONCE rabbit to a girl i know because it’s skinny and she’s a virgin but she remains unconvinced that six months in a drawer and three rounds with three kinds of toy cleaner is enough to get my nasty herpes off it.

any suggestions that really really clean the damn things? seems a shame to pitch the ones i don’t want…

[well, except that one but it was TERRIBLE and NO ONE should suffer through it]

Good Luck & Enjoy!

“Figure out an inedible, indestructible way to keep the sun out of the little ones’ bedroom. Suggestions welcome.”

exterior shutters - there are a couple of inexpensive designs you could make yourself

i will email some details and maybe a sketch or photo if i can find one

Steady now! Pace yourself and don’t wear yourself out in the first few days :o)

I envy your energy.

When I have a day off, my sole ambition is ‘get up in time for a nap’.

–shhhh don’t tell anyone. that’s kinda what i’m doing too. :) –aag

I can’t wait to see what you think of Chemistry 4 because I saw it a few weeks ago.

Have fun with all that silicone lube! :)

Good luck with the book proposal and enjoy your child free time.

Since you are an excellent gardener, perhaps a bamboo fence arranged with small trees and shrubs. Or a trellis.

If the children’s room is on an upper floor, then the outdoor shutters or shades would be the best, as other readers have suggested.

Enjoy your weekend.

Extra use of the lube sounds like a good idea…mixed in with the naps, writing, etc.

Have you tried UV film on the windows?

A cheap idea for the window could be just good old tin foil. If you’re worried about the kidlings getting their hands on it, put it on outside. If it gets torn off or ripped down, who cares? It’s foil! Or maybe a cheap dark shower curtain? Let us know what you come up with. I have the same problem. ;)

Good Luck with the book proposal. I hope this weekend leaves you well fucked and happy. Great sex makes a happy MOM.

My child shreaded another shade this week. So I am looking for a better way to keep the sun out too.

Kisses!

I -hear- that aluminum foil taped up in the windows reflects the light well. I understand Dooce did that for her daughter Leta’s room.
