Gettin' Away...

It is official...I am a Mombot, homebody. Why, you ask? Good question...I am going to Vail on Wednesday with The Bro for SIX DAYS! Husband will be watching the kiddoodles for SIX DAYS!

I am freaking out about it. I am freaking out about it! Husband says "go kick up your heels." I spend all my days with the babies...ALL my days. I have never been away from them for this long, and I'm having a hard time with it. Don't get me wrong, I love to ski, and I will enjoy myself...it's just that six days seems like a really long time to be away. I am trying not to freak out about it...Trying...Not...To...Freak.

Am I nuts (I should have called this blog "am I nuts" seems I ask that quesiton a lot) Do you all freak when you have the opportunity to get away?


On a completely unrelated note...Husband took Miss Peach to The Art Institute this weekend. We have a children's book about Georgia O'Keeffe, and Miss Peach loves it. She and Husband took the bus downtown to look at some of her paintings...

When she got home, she said "Mommy, I really liked the Mooseseum...but Georgia wasn't there...she was painting. I think she will be there next time." So cute!
(oh, I owe you a Run Report...tom., I promise...tom.)

  1. You're not nuts. And you will have a great time and everyone will be fine, better than fine.

    That is a very cute story.

  2. Warden,

    Have a great time. You have to give your kids something to tell their analyst when they get older.....Mom left us with Dad to go have fun.......Just kidding. Got Snow?

  3. WOW! Go have a great time! You'll probably enjoy your time at home even more when you get back.

  4. Oh have a fabulous time! You totally deserve it!

    We left the kids for 6 days when we went to a wedding in Hawaii. It took me 3 or 4 days to really get comfortable w/o them... my husband was fine by day 2. By day 6 I we were both ready for their hugs and kisses!

    I won't tell you how jealous I am right now...

  6. I thought it would be simple as pie to leave the kids with hubs for 4 days when I went to my sister's graduation last year. Not exactly as worry-free as i expected it to be. It was my first time away and I wanted to call all the time, but Hubs was like I GOT IT! and felt like I didn't think he could do it.

    But GO! enjoy yourself! Yes you will worry about them, but you will thank yourself later. Enjoy!

  7. I freak out when I am away from the little one as well. That's great you are getting a little mom vacation though - I think it's needed every now and again. I'll be in CO next week too - but for work :) Hubby is there this week - skiing!

  8. Um... I never get opportunities like those.

    6 days does seem like a long time, then again, I already know I'm nuts. I don't remember the last time I went anywhere without at least one kid.

    I know they'll be fine and you'll have an awesome time! Enjoy your trip and try not to worry!

  9. I freak out too. My dad wants to take me on a 4 day trip and I told him I had to bring the baby. At least one of my kids will be with me. I'm nuts if your nuts :)

  10. Have a great time. I would feel the same way about leaving my kids. We are doing that this summer and I feel a bit guilty about it.

  11. I freak out like that when the hubby and I go on vacation without the boys too. But if hubby is the one staying home (when does that happen???) with them then I don't even blink. He just knows their routines, personalities, likes, etc just as well as I so there is nothing to fret. And even though the grandparents do a FABULOUS job I'm still always TERRIBLY nervous leaving my boys.
    I hope you have a GREAT time skiing!

  12. Georgia wasn't there... That is sweet!

    Have fun! I totally understand the freaking out bit. But at least they'll be at home with your husband. Leaving them with a grandparent or random person is even weirder...

  13. Go and have a great time. I would be freaking out if I was going to be away from my kids for 6 days, but I think I would end up enjoying it as long as I could talk to them everyday.

    You have an award at my place, come by and get it when you get a chance.

  14. love that little girl -

    and you are lucky and brave. I'm not there yet - I just couldn't do it yet. Maybe if I had more faith in my husbands ability to "take care" of our children I would be there. But, nope - couldn't do it. have never been away from the kids except to have another one in the hospital!

  15. I freak over a night or two, but it always turns out to be just fine. You will be, too! Have a blast!

  16. A ski trip sounds AWESOME! I've traveled enough since having kids to be over the anxiety of it all...hopefully this trip will prove to you, too, that there's nothing to be worried about. Especially if they'll be home with Daddy!

    Now go! Have fun! And have a drink for me! ;-)

  17. Have a great get-away! What an awesome husband! Oh, and DON'T FREAK OUT...enjoy!

  18. Yup, I do the same thing, freak out that is, consequently I have only ever made it through two days with one night in between. This is not helped by the fact that I am a solo mum and my kids "ARE my life". But get away have heaps of fun and strangely they will be in one piece when you come home.

  21. I'm getting away too! I'm having a girlfriend's weekend in Chicago. One of our dear friends moved away so we decided to meet up for the weekend. I wish it were longer, but I'll take the time that I get. One is pregnant with her first and due in March I think it is good for her to get out with the girls before the baby comes.

  22. Have fun! I would totally freak out too. I've never spent one night away from my 2 year old so I can only imagine what a wreck I would be.

  23. Oh - I'm going to Arizona in a month or so and am dreading leaving the toddler. AND I work and leave them with a babysitter all the time. They'll be with their dad while I'm gone, but still. The toddler has been SO clingy that I can only imagine it's going to be worse when I get back.

    Have fun on your ski trip!

  24. Wow, sounds like a great opportunity for you to have some bonding time with your bro and for hubby to have some real live hands-on 24/7 parenting time. Could be good for everyone!

  25. I hope you have a great time, enjoy yourself, you deserve it!

    Love the museum story, too cute!

  26. Very, very cool! And I'm insanely jealous! Enjoy!

    Ready for the return of LOST? Would you believe I'm debating whether or not to watch this time? I might just give it up.

  27. I think I'd freak out a little too, but also WOULD TOTALLY LOVE IT!

    and so will you. Have a blast!

  28. 6 days is a lot. I think I would freak as well. I have done 4 days... it is doable....just hard. I'll be rooting for you to have tons of fun!
