Thoughts for Thursday

I'm linking up with Annie and Natalie this Thursday with my thoughts on leaving for the weekend.
Thoughts for Thursday
We just decided last night that we are leaving the boys for a night. I've only done this once before (other than one night hospital stays for delivery) and the boys were 15 minutes down the road (they even came to say goodnight). I'm a control freak and I like to know everything, so this is already giving me anxiety. KC will stay with us (and hopefully be an angel). 

We are heading to my 15 year high school reunion. It's a weekend long event (and family friendly so KC will be fine). I am really excited to see some old friends and the campus again. My high school was a residential high school, so it's a little different. 

Before we leave on Sunday we will be stopping by Chapel Hill. It will be such a nostalgic weekend! I'm just crossing my fingers that my mom will be able to find the baseball field and the soccer field (and that my mother-in-law will show up to cheer on N when my mom has to take T to soccer - it was quite an equation to figure out how to get who where and when). 

I'm wondering if I'll get more nervous before we leave, or feel more at ease. Any tips? I know they are 7 and 4 but they are still my babies!

  2. OMG where are you headed?! And jealous you are stopping in Chapel Hill!!! I have a very hard time too leaving my son...I've only done it 4 times total (sounds like a lot) but overnight is just a game changer. Your boys will be great and will be so excited to see you when you get home!

  3. Girlfriend, I can so relate. Even when offered date nights, the control freak in me declines the opportunity. You'll have a blast once gone, but the anxiety leading up to it is going to be the pits!! Good luck! Can't wait to hear about your adventures!

  4. Have fun and enjoy the weekend away! It's definitely hard, but it makes you enjoy the return that much more!

  5. So tough but it sounds like you all have a fun weekend planned and the boys will do great!! My sister and I used to love staying with my grandparents overnight when we were little. It always felt like an adventure.

  6. Love reading these comments. We have both left Olivia individually, but not at the same time. For me, the thought of leaving her was harder than once I actually did.
