I am so literally laughing right now. Understand, though, that I am not laughing at you - I really am laughing with you. I agree - it is hard to truly let go once you become a parent. There is just no way to let that go, because you now have added a ton of responsibility into your life! Let us know how you do on your trip. For your sake (and for the rest of the class of 1999 - of which, I was a part also), I hope you can let go and be '19' again! :) Susan Roustans last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BeyondPodcasting/~3/276178991/tech-thoughts-will-return-after-this.html" rel="nofollow">Tech thoughts will return after this brief hiatus...</a> LOL.

Hubby & I have done a number of 1-2 night stays away over the years - and like you - I daydream about being 'kids-free' and not having to be a 'parent' for 24-48 hours leading up to the time, and we always have a great time - but after only a few hours into the experience I start to wonder how they are? I know they are always safe and happy - and usually being spoilt - but something within makes me miss them. However, we've never let this stop us having fun or plan the next time we can have some 'adult' time together. It's healthy for you and for them - Enjoy!

My kids now equate me leaving with getting toys from airport gift shops and they are all good with that - they are starting to encourage me to leave in order to get the next city's snow globe or light up key chain. Relax, have fun, and if you need an executor for the will, I am glad to help out! :) pprlisas last blog post..<a href="http://perkettprsuasion.com/2008/06/12/christine-perkett-announced-as-stevie-award-finalist/" rel="nofollow">Christine Perkett Announced as Stevie Award Finalist</a> Kate - honestly, the kids will have a blast and once you’re back, it will be like you’ve never been gone (sorry, its true).

Hope it's everything you want it to be! Like you, we don't leave our kids with anyone overnight, and rarely had them at someone else's house when they needed to be watched during the day. Part of this was just who we are as parents, but most of it was that our boys are/were creatures of habit. Anyway, good for you for getting the will and medical authorization notes taken care of. This really will help you be able to relax... and be almost as carefree as the girl in the picture!

My children have all left home now - two boys in London, my daughter lives nearby with a little son of her own and our youngest is at university, although technically still lives at home. Enjoy your family while they are with you as all too soon, they leave and you wish them back again. Enjoy your holiday. Times with your husband are precious as well. We are going to London to see our boys next week and I am really looking forward to that.....well......once I finish my reports.
