Knus! (That’s Danish for Hugs)

Hugs… because I’m leaving!!!

By the time you read this I’ll be in the air…Wordpress has a neat little auto-publish feature. There goes that time – playing tricks on me again. 

When I land it will be 9:00 a.m. in Denmark. I’ve already told Thomas he must immediately deliver me to the best coffee and pastry shop in Copenhagen.

FYI – I’m planning on gaining at least 5 pounds while I’m there, maybe 7 (if I’m lucky). 

I am excited (everyone has been asking me) but it’s a bit clouded with some serious Benjamin cravings. I’ve talked to him on the phone twice today. He’s filled with cute little stories about his new toy truck, his naps in grandma’s hammock and all of the chocolate chip cookies she’s feeding him. His voice is so sweet… as all children’s are – but there’s nothing like the sound of your own child’s voice. Angels. And I’ll be missing mine crazy bad.

But there’s a Dane waiting on the other side with a jam packed schedule to keep me distracted and maybe, just maybe, I will be able to completely step out of mommy mode – throw all cares to the wind and just be. 

On the agenda so far…

• A Danish national soccer game (YES! LOVE real football)
• A boat ride into Sweden to see Hamlet’s castle
• A party out in the country 
• A Danish beach or two
• The rest may include but will not be limited to shopping, eating (real chocolates), drinking (real coffee) and relaxing (no matter what).

You may find an errant post from me here or there.

And when I get back expect at least one video, tons of pictures and lots of stories… To keep you thinking and entertained until then I’ve lined up a series of AMAZING guest posts.

You’ll hear from a single mom who has found true love, from another who knows how to spot a jerk from a mile away, from a single woman who knows exactly how to conquer a bad break up and from a single dad who may have finally conquered the first hurdles of single parenthood.

And, last but not least, a writer I admire beyond words will be sharing a post (as soon as that brilliant brain of hers clears up a mild case of writer’s block). ;  )

I hope you enjoy! And I will miss this blog (almost) as much as I miss Benjamin. Hold down the fort for me, watch out for those errant comments from single parent haters and take care of yourselves until I get back. 

Knus, 

Ms. Single Mama
