Everyone needs a break to rejuvniate their inner spirit. Don't feel guilty. Be happy your husband supports it and enjoy!karen.hartzell@gracobaby.comhttp://blog.gracobaby.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-71327601568467263822009-07-14T11:28:15.510-06:002009-07-14T11:28:15.510-06:00Go go go go go.

I'm almost dreading her coming home!

I'm doing it myself ...nope, not weird at all. <br /><br />I'm doing it myself next month and I am counting down the days!

It's only for 3 days, but after the first day, I feel amazingly relaxed and rejuvenated. And the Mr. and Al need some just-boys time.<br /><br />Do it. It will be a good thing for all of you.Jezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05330098247363012639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-30184004313305719852009-07-10T17:58:31.600-06:002009-07-10T17:58:31.600-06:00If Bill wants you to vacation alone, could it be t...If Bill wants you to vacation alone, could it be that the in-laws are going to come visit? Be careful. I don't think it's strange at all that you feel you should have the boys with you if you go see your sisters. Why can't you vacation somewhere as a family and just have Bill provide you with some down time via a massage or pedicure or just alone time at the pool, mall, etc.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17531223652076991523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-35090016982261159582009-07-10T17:32:14.289-06:002009-07-10T17:32:14.289-06:00I SO hear you.

I say go for it. If we had the money I wouldn't mind going on a vacation for 3-4 days without Monkey and Luke.Evolving Mommy Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396529445805781031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-73799506264470658392009-07-10T17:24:43.958-06:002009-07-10T17:24:43.958-06:00I totally get your hesitation.

Then again... it's a WHOLE WEEK to yourself and being able to spend time with more of your family is priceless. Do it! And you'll come back feeling yourself again. It may just be exactly what you need. ;)<br /><br />PS- Can I come???

I was bored shitless because I was so used to having a kid to pick up after and take care of, but I really ENJOYED being bored. lol. I enjoyed the silence. I love my kids to death but I would *LOVE* a week without them, all to myself, to do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted.<br /><br />And the whole not listening thing? Mate we are completely on the same page. I have gone from yelling/screaming once or twice to multiple times EVERY day and it's wearing reeeeeeeally thin.ericahttp://theapostles.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
