Today I am leaving to visit my sister in Arkansas.
We rarely see each other and I miss her terribly so it is a trip long overdue.
However, I decided to go alone.
Cry, sniff, cry.
I am leaving Luke home.
He is… well, to put it plainly a terrible traveler.
It’s a long flight with a layover. I barely survived my Las Vegas and LA flights with him in tow.
I will be sad that he won’t get to see his cousins, but he will have lots of bonding time with daddy.
I will miss him terribly.
Geez, I already miss him just thinking about leaving.
I haven’t been apart from him for one day since the day he was born.
However, I am looking forward to a vacation.
A real vacation. Just for me.
My momma and younger sister are coming too.
It’s a girls weekend.
It’s always a girl’s weekend with my family, I have no brothers.
We may get wild and crazy.
Or just curl up in our jammies and watch movies.
There will also be shopping involved.
I am hoping it will rejuvenate me.
That I will be able to make it through the cold, cooped up months until the sunshine is on my face again.
Did I tell you it is supposed to be around 70 degrees while I am out there?
Halleluiah.
I will also be away from the Internet for awhile because of this.
See you in a week.
Hugs and kisses to Luke!
I remember the first time I was away from my kiddos...it gets easier...and then the dads appreciate you THAT MUCH MORE. My husband always appreciates me, but after spending long weekends with the kiddos alone, he loves me even more. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great time! You're making a very healthy decision. And how wonderful that Jared is supportive. I have never been able to have a vacation yet but I have snuck off to the movies by myself and I promise I am a better mom because of it. You're going to miss him so much but try and relax and have fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, what fun! And, Luke will be just fine. I always expect things to fall apart when I am away, but Todd is superman, I swear. I come home to a clean house and happy kids every time. The guy even grocery shops and does laundry. Everybody wins!:) And, we are always so happy to be back together.
