School started back today here, so I have just finished an action (and stress) packed 2 week Easter 'break' with my 2 DSs (age 10 & 11), both of whom have ADHD and DS1 also has Aspergers. On Friday they are off again for the Royal Wedding and we have a street party which will involve much kid wrangling, of them and the other 20 kids who are coming. Friday night my 2 DS's, plus the girl next door and the one over the road are all off on Scout camp to the coast for the weekend, leaving only the 2 6 year olds down the road left on the street (both are younger brothers of the 2 girls going to camp) so the street will be mostly free of the clamour of 6 kids playing on a trampoline or having water fights etc.
DP is coming down to visit on Thursday night (he lives 300 miles away) so will be here for the weekend. I am pg with DS3, 4 months to go. This is one of our last chances to have a weekend together as a couple, as by the time DS3 is born we will all be living with DP, which is away from the support network I have built up here and babysitting opportunities are virtually zero up by him.
Today I have been making plans with him for the weekend, some boring stuff like going to Magnet to get ideas for his kitchen refit, but mainly things like going to the coast for a walk, gouching out with dvds and having long lies in which has me positively bouncing with joy, but now I feel like I am being traitorous to my DC to be actively looking forward to them going away.
Obviously I love them and for the most part I adore the fact that the kids round here get on so well and play together, so I don't mind the noise it causes and actually quite like hearing them all whoop with glee, but sometimes it does get a bit much and the prospect of relative peace for 2 whole days is just delightful.
AIBU? Should I break out the sackcloth for even considering doing anything other than pining for them while they are gone?
