Scott and I are leaving on Friday morning for a five day, adult only trip to Florida. This is the FIRST time I have EVER left Abbie and I've only been apart from Caden for a night here and there. I'm so nervous. Is that pathetic?
Luckily for me, my kind and supportive in-laws are keeping my children for me here in Midway which makes me feel very comfortable. They will be in their own home, own beds and playing with their own toys. So, why am I so anxious about leaving them?
What if something happens to one of them while I am gone? What if they get sick and I am not there to cuddle and soothe them? What if Abbie finally starts to go on the potty and I am not there to help her celebrate? I know, I know...I'm dramatic. But I miss them already and I haven't even left yet.
Sure, I am excited to be spending some quality, quiet time alone with my husband, relaxing at the spa, eating at fancy restaurants and reading or sleeping while lying on the beach. Sounds dreamy, right? It will be. I just need to learn (or remember) how to be Tara without kids to feed, change, bathe, read to and think about every second of every day. I love being a mom and I love all the little things that come along with it, but I think I may have forgotten what I enjoy outside of motherhood. I need this. Scott and I need this.
I'm nervous, scared, anxious and excited all at the same time. Any advice how to calm my nerves and actually enjoy this much needed break?

You're really doing it for Caden and Abbie. You're helping them become independent people. This way when they leave for college they can handle being away from you and won't be coming home after just 2 weeks. :)
Cam and I went to Hawaii for 8 days in January and I felt the same way you do. But once we kept calling and realized the kids were fine and happy, we felt better about things. You will too. Have fun!!!
Take lots of ambien! or your drops. :)
kidding.
just do it. alot. maybe create another human being. (inappropriate?)
I just think you guys have the best looking kids and I want more nieces and nephews. AND Abbie called me and told me she would calm down alot if she had a lil sis or bro.
BELIEVE it.
You guys are going to have fun and you deserve a couple of days of just relaxing and procreating. (I wont stop with it until it happens)
love youuuu
have fun you skinny sexy beings you.
Lindsey - Totally inappropriate, but I wouldn't expect anything less from your family. And come on, I live with Mitch. I'm use to hearing inappropriate things.
No babies in our near future. Perhaps some trying though. =)
And I forgot all about my "chill" drops. Good point, they are getting packed.
