How important is the reason?
I have a confession to make - I am not very good at cleaning. I know this is probably not a shock to anyone reading this but I figure this is important to document for my posterity, so it can help them better understand the hurdles they face in life :). I would like to propose that this is the main reason I ended up at Legoland last week with my children. Sure, there were free tickets involved for the neighbors who really wanted us to go with them, AND we do have passes (thanks to Nani and Bampa) , AND I also still felt a tad bit of guilt about having fun without my kids last week (maybe I wanted to prove that I could also have fun with my kids - definitely not the same), BUT mostly I really didn't want to stick around my house and have to clean. Not to mention that if you aren't home, you are also not making any more of a mess of the house than it already was :). We were not there long and we had a great time - regardless of the reasons that drove us there! And Brooke is now tall enough to accompany Ashley on all the rides they want to ride (also a plus is the close proximity to outlet shopping - I mean, if I"m going to drive all the way over there....)

I should go with you next time. You can drop me off at the outlets!
You are a VERY fun Mom! You should see my house right now...yikes!
If you want to feel better - just come look at mine. We're drowning in boxes and packing paper and scary things on our kitchen floor...
Next time I need to go with you to the outlets, I haven't been in SO long! You are an awesome mom, don't tell my kids you went to Legoland.
We went to Legoland 2x during the last week of February. Can you guess how much I like cleaning?! Hey, I had to go, we had free passes!!
I am with you on hating to clean! I say so what. Your kids are only young once and spending time having fun with them will leave better memories than hanging around the house keeping it clean. Plus, the kids don't care about having in clean house. Case in point, go look in their rooms at any given moment!
I don't love to clean, but I love a clean house..different? I am rarely home just for that reason. I clean my house and then leave, so that I can't get it dirty. Once we are tired and return, we rest or go to bed. Sundays however seem to be messy day.
