seven nights

SEVEN nights that I will be away from my children. It hit me a few days ago. I don't want to say goodbye to my kids. I don't want to leave them for that long. Yeah, I know I need a break, and I can't back out now, and when I get there and settle in I will probably love it, but in the meantime I'm beside myself. I haven't even told Abby yet because I don't want her to be sad, which will make ME sad. Carter knows, but he doesn't grasp it like Abby will. I know they will have fun while we're gone, and they will be in good hands at Melinda's house, but I am going to miss them terribly.

At least we will be with all of Brian's family who will have also ditched their kids with other people. We can commiserate together I guess.

We left the girls for two weeks when we went to Italy. I was the same way. I took a cheap picture album with me with a few cute shots of them. Any time I was missing them, I had something to look at.

Okay, you're going to Hawaii. Suck it up! You'll love each other all the more when you get back.
