When Hot Wife went vacationing for four days it left me and my two girls to fend for ourselves. Working at home, this gave us even more time to spend together. We had a great time, ate out, shopped and watched movies.

I think the most important lesson I learned from this weekend is patience. When you are around your kids for days on end and they get wound up it can be a bit trying at times. There were instances when both daughters were jumping around, talking loud and making absolutely no sense. In a restaurant this can become nerve racking.

Each time I was about to tell them to be completely quiet and not move I would think about something. What if, heaven forbid, something unexpected happened to one of my precious daughters? What would I give just to hear them laugh and scream or see them jump around just for one second? I would give anything.

With that in mind I would politely ask them to tone it down, take a deep breath and thank God that there they were, my daughters, with me having fun and being kids.
