Just call me crazy

JENFEF21 · June 2011

I don't think I've told you ladies about the craziness I recently agreed to. Over a year ago my mom offered to watch Amelia this summer so DH and I could take an actual vacation since we never took a honeymoon. Flash foward to this month and plans are made for my mom to take Amelia to visit family in Atlanta will DH and I take a cruise. Well, two weeks ago DH and I decided it was best (for many reasons) we don't keep our plans. My mom had already bought her plane tickets so she was still going to Atlanta....and still wanted to take Amelia. After much discussion DH and I agreed to let her go even though we were staying home. My mom and Amelia left yesterday and won't me back until next Friday morning. I was a total wreck yesterday - crying off and on all day. No crying today, but I'm still not sure how I'm going to make it until next Friday. I obviously knew I was going to miss Amelia like crazy, but I really didn't think it was going to be this bad. I figured I'd have a few days to enjoy having time just being with DH and to get stuff done around the house before I started crawling the walls. I've already researched flights and how long the drive to Atlanta is from here because I can totally see myself loosing it by mid-week and needing to get to her.

Awe.....I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time. A week is a really long time, have you been away from her before for overnights?

I'm so sorry, it has to be hard especially if this is the first time you're away from her.

Bri was 4 years old before she spent her first night away from me. So I am the last to say you are being ridiculous about pricing up tickets. I think it would have been easier if you weren't home- you would have had distractions and not the constant reminders of her presence under your nose, KWIM? Just do what is right for you, hang what everyone else says about it.

She's spent the occasional night with my parents so DH and I could have a date night. We're talking maybe four times in the past 15 months. Those occasional nights didn't bother me which is why I thought I'd at least have a couple days/nights before I started going nuts. Yeah, not so much.

My parents take Nate for a 3 night long weekend once a month, Thursday through Sunday. I do love and need the break, but by Sunday, I am dying. And I agree if you weren't just home, it would be better because you'd be distracted. A week seems long the first couple of days, but it goes by fast! Hang in there and try to take advantage of the break!

The very thought of leaving May for a week hurts my heart. I would be the exact same way.

You poor thing! Did you guys take time off to or are you supposed to work next weekend? Maybe you can drive there for a visit and then just bring her home with you?

Awwww! I'm sure I would be exactly the same way. I can't even get the hootspa to leave Margot with a babysitter for a few hours. In fact, I haven't even left her alone with DH yet

This!

As much as I say I wish I could get a full night of sleep, I would probably sit up and be sad.
