Me and this guy are headed to Dallas this week, whoot whoot!! He is staying with grandma & grandpa for the weekend while I head off on our 5th annual Mystery Girls Trip weekend!! I'm so excited. I know they will all be fine and I know it will be okay to leave him, but I'll admit that I have some anxiety about it. There's many things that I worry about that are dumb and I know my parents are on top of it, but they include the copperheads that frequent their neighborhood, ticks carrying Lyme disease, falling asleep in a hot car, wandering to the back field when it's flooded... I mean. Your mind can take you places when you're a momma and they're not always pretty. I know that the worst that will likely happen is he won't sleep very well and that will be hard for everyone. But that's the joy of being a grandparent, right? You do it for a few days then you get to take a nice long break! Hopefully I won't get a call saying come home... 1) bc I really want this to be a successful weekend, and 2) bc I'm not driving so don't even really have a way home!! I'm sure it'll be great...
On my end, I know it'll be great!! I haven't seen these girls (except for Marcy) in a year! A YEAR! That's a long time away from ones that I hold so deeply in my heart. A real long time. 3 days of water (I assume) and sun (I assume) and adult beverages (I guarantee) and sleeping uninterrupted past 6:30 am (I hope) and so many hugs from my dear girls..it will be wonderful and I'm thankful to the hubby and my parents for helping me make it happen. Can't wait to see what you've planned, Emmer Jean!!
(I do realize I've not mentioned the part about it also being MY first time away from my little dude and that's bc I'm pushing it to the waaaay back part of my brain where I can't think about it too much. My lucky daddy-o who will hopefully take me to Emily's house on Friday morning will probably get to see the raw side of that...)
