Get them each a present. Tell them your going to come back again and bring special presents. Tell them their time with Daddy is going to be so great and you'll be back really fast. Take the attention off of leaving and put it on returning for both them and YOU. You've just about talked yourself out of going and you really do need a break. You won't yell as much after a break you'll be more relaxed. You can do this!!!Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-47918719403154684032012-01-15T04:02:22.526-06:002012-01-15T04:02:22.526-06:00I am so grateful to have both boys and a girl, too...I am so grateful to have both boys and a girl, too.

It will be hard day for me when he marries his bride....I'll actually have to share him. :) <br /><br />I'm getting all weepy thinking about this and the boy is only 3 months old!historygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079840927336938685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-62382373882942548102012-01-14T00:19:59.302-06:002012-01-14T00:19:59.302-06:00We had a small incident here this past Monday when...We had a small incident here this past Monday when I had a doctor's appointment and then, did a bit of shopping afterward. All that made me not home by the time the grandkids got home from school. It's never been a problem before if I wasn't here but this week, Maya got really upset and began asking her Mom tons of questions as to my whereabouts -very worried, she was. Kind of nice to hear about it when I got home but she about drove her poor Mom over the edge because when she gets upset like that, it means she is obsessing about it and the obsessions can be really hard to cope with at times. Finally figured out the background issue for her stemmed from the fact that in school, in her class, they are currently learning about "Stranger Danger" and stuff like that and she was unable to separate it all. <br />Hope you enjoy your time away and get back home relaxed, rested and safe and sound!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-6624903291926876312012-01-13T15:28:09.954-06:002012-01-13T15:28:09.954-06:00What a beautiful post!

I have such a strong connection with my son that I couldn't imagine having girls...then I had two girls:) And the connection is great with them too...just different. And I so agree with their unconditional love. We can have a terrible, no good, very bad day and my son will give me a hug and tell me I'm the best mom ever when he goes to bed. So much love when I don't always feel it is deserved, but it is what gets me through and keeps me focused. Thanks for your thoughts and have a wonderful trip!Wisconsin Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126902969299740691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-46196486945494167452012-01-12T13:54:35.870-06:002012-01-12T13:54:35.870-06:00Oh, I'm so glad you have a daughter!Oh, I'm so glad you have a daughter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-44954207439441447982012-01-12T12:37:29.541-06:002012-01-12T12:37:29.541-06:00Beautiful Kat.

I think it might be because for me, it's so unexpected, their love and devotion, a love I could never be a good enough mom to deserve. <br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful trip and come back refreshed and ready to be followed around and clung to even more, at least for a few days.Mom24https://www.blogger.com/profile/00061152728345287775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-21184195884348200812012-01-12T11:43:18.290-06:002012-01-12T11:43:18.290-06:00What a beautiful post.

I hate to say it but I know I'll be jealous when someday they fall in love and I won't be their #1 girl anymore. :(Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377383730260542408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-87875867336501107282012-01-11T21:29:57.080-06:002012-01-11T21:29:57.080-06:00That was beautiful friend!

And glad to hear that you are getting a weekend to yourself. You deserve this and the kids will be totally fine! Think of how exciting your return will be! I remember leaving our kids when they were 1 and 2 and going to San Francisco. While it was hard, (and I too was scared of flying, driving, walking across the street, etc) it was so worth it. Enjoy every moment friend!!!!<br /><br />So good to hear from you! Sorry my blog hasn't been letting you comment. I need to get back on that thing myself. :)<br /><br />Happy weekend friend!!!!!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757190486746869272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-55125548361779985612012-01-11T21:05:26.224-06:002012-01-11T21:05:26.224-06:00I'll think I'll never know what I've d...I'll think I'll never know what I've done to deserve all my children'ts love. But then I think of my own mother and all she did for me when I was growing up and I kinda get it. ;)<br /><br />The fact that Tommy wrote you a letter is so sweet.
