You know you're a Mommy when....

I have been waiting for this day for 3 months. We are leaving for OKC in about 4 hours. Like I have said before, this is the first REAL trip Jason and I have taken alone in....maybe ever.

However, Kate quickly informed me that we left her,Koop, and Case for 10 days when Kenna had WHOOPING COUGH. How could I have ever forgotten that incredibly romantic vacation in the PICU sleeping one of us in the recliner and the other at the Ronald McDonald house every night!!

She recalled every moment of her sadness and immediately her little bottom lip began to tremble. Then tears filled MY eyes. What the heck!!?? I'm ecstatic about this trip. Why do I feel sad?!

Even though I cannot wait to have some time alone with just Jason, my heart is a little whopper-jawed today. Half stinkin' crazy excited and half feeling like I want to cry!!

HMMM... I guess that's how you know you're a Mommy.

And he cuts his eyes just like Gary....They are all precious but that CASE!!!(he is eat 'em up cute!) GO have a great time and they will LOVE you more when you get back............Aunt Vi

Amy, bless you! It's called stress and anticipation of the unknown. You'll have a great time, but you have to relax. The kids will miss you, but they'll be fine. It's good for them to be away from you on occassion. You're the best mommy in the world and don't you doubt yourself for one minute! I love you and will say lots of prayers for you today. Don't cry when you leave because that will make them cry. Be strong and know this is good for your relationship with your hubby! Call me when you get home. Who's keeping the kids anyway?

You guys have a lot of fun in OKC. We are assuming you mean Oklahoma City. If so, go by the memorial if you haven't seen it. We like OKC. There is a great Cabela's there too! And Bricktown is nice to visit.

Y'all are going to have a BLAST! Wish we were able to go with you... Tell Jason Good Luck! Cant wait to talk to him on Sunday afternoon. Have fun and RELAX. You deserve it!

i do the same thing. I want, want to get a break and when the break is staring me in the face I feel all sad and guilt ridden about it. but, you will have fun. some awkward silence but in the end it is so worth it!

I have the exact feelings....and it seems like when we do actually get away there is something missing and all we talk about the kids... Enjoy this time...you BOTH need it... Toby and I actually have a trip planned for the first part of spring next year....after the baby is settled and we are leaving either on a cruise or somewhere that we can just get away...I am already thinking about that trip...but I have some time to get ready for it...Your kids will do great...and we appreciate your time away and with their grandparents....have fun...and have one for me...please...steph

I completely understand how you feel. I left the kids for the weekend and had a terrible time leaving. Not to mention I missed one of Denver's t-ball games. I just felt awful, but it was something I needed to do. My heart ached the whole way to Fredericksburg. Anyway, I'm back and everyone survived. Let me know how Jason's run went. I thought of y'all Saturday morning as I was running my 10k...much easier than a 1/2 marathon.
