Leaving......

I am the WORST WIFE in the world. All of my friends are so jealous I get to go to Maui with my hubby withOUT the kids and I just can't wrap my mind around it. I HATE leaving my kids. HATE HATE HATE! Don't get me wrong, I like date nights and weekend trips but 11 days will be so hard for me. Especially since Brady has come down with some crazy sickness and my mind goes to the absolute WORSE place ever. I don't even want to say the things I think of as to jinx myself. Seriously, I am CRAZY. I wrote 8 pages for my sitters of schedules, menu's, emergency contacts, insurance info, do's and don'ts...

Jake gave Brady a blessing. And Zach. And me. And I am putting my faith in those blessings. After Brady's I sat in my closet and sobbed and sobbed. And I am not one to be overly emotional but I can't help it.!! Will you all just pray for me and my kids to be safe, OH, and a little one for Jake's sanity!?

Aah! Good luck! You can call home to check on them, right? But don't call home so much that you don't enjoy yourself. You might not get to get away again for a long time --so get tan and sleep in a bit and enjoy!

I know you are off vacationing on a beautiful island and I am sure your kids are doing great and hope you had a fabulous time! When you get back I would LOVE to get together and catch up! Can you squeeze me in sometime :D?

Emily- I hate leaving my kids as well... last year Craig and I went to Chicago and I was miserable half the time! lol Well in all honesty, it was dang cold, I was 7 months pregnant, and it was painful to walk...
