And starting on Sunday, we’re taking a four-day vacation without her. The one day was AWESOME – lots of grown-up talk, a movie in the theater, enjoying leisurely meals (without a single tear or tantrum), and shopping without a stroller. I’ll admit, though, I’m REALLY nervous about four whole days!!! Not nervous to be alone with my husband – don’t worry, that’s the part I’m super excited about! – but nervous about leaving my kiddo alone for so long. Since she’ll be with my parents, I’m quite sure we’ll all survive, though!Mary @ Giving Up On Perfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879039457971511498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-91122219495558878622009-06-25T08:44:19.934-05:002009-06-25T08:44:19.934-05:00oh man the trip sound really good.. 3 movies?? wow...oh man the trip sound really good.. 3 movies?? wow we haven't watched a movie in "real theater" for last 3 yrs..<br />I feel very guilty leaving my kids .. did you have that feeling?Huriyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464210663327759418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-66295056971948030742009-06-25T08:39:07.502-05:002009-06-25T08:39:07.502-05:00Hi Kristen,
