I had a great opportunity to go to a wedding in Mexico, but I just couldn't do it. Could not. But it will have to happen eventually, huh? I'm looking forward to hearing how you handled it!Michelle Constantinescuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927443258162528366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-3373422568432186542007-05-05T14:45:00.000-04:002007-05-05T14:45:00.000-04:00You're already gone, but I hope your first time aw...You're already gone, but I hope your first time away from him is refreshing! I left Caiden for seven days when he was about 20 months old, and it was fantastic. I missed him, but I was able to sleep late, eat my own food uninterrupted, and lounge around on the beach, poolside. It was definitely worth it.<BR/><BR/>That said, I am in desperate need to do something of the sort again--he's almost 6, and I haven't been fully away from my children since then!<BR/><BR/>So enjoy it for me, while I live vicariously through you :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867656058895825645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-26591501177545073882007-05-05T09:16:00.000-04:002007-05-05T09:16:00.000-04:00CONGRATS Melissa!Have a blast with her Amanda and ...CONGRATS Melissa!<BR/><BR/>Have a blast with her Amanda and enjoy every minute of freedom.<BR/><BR/>I know how hard it is! I lfet JD for the first time (well, he'd spent the night at my mom's before) for a long weekend (Thurs thru late Sunday) and it was SOO hard. I cried at the airport with my mom.

But you know, once I got over the initial leaving - albeit tears in my eyes and running down my cheeks - I had a GREAT weekend and it was just the rest and refreshment I needed. I came back appreciating mommyhood even more and the welcome home hugs and kisses made it all the more precious. Enjoy your time away. It will fly. And having flown with toddlers alone... you've made a GOOD CHOICE, friend!

I am alone with them all the time with my hubby's crazy work schedule these days, but the thought of letting him take over? SUPER, DUPER SCARY.
