Leaving for Phoenix - Hard Day!

I leave for Phoenix today to visit my very dear friend and college roommate, Suzanne. We have many things planned including concerts, rock climbing, and other fun pampering things but somehow I just CAN'T seem to shake the anxious feeling that I am leaving my life behind ...

I know, I know - there are a bunch of reasons that I should go...

• It is only six (6) days
• Sam & Hud will have more quality time and bond
• I will be a better and more patient mom if I have time away
• It will be fun

BUT... I just know that I am going to miss my boys beyond belief and already have a sort of ache in my stomach. This is my first time away for more than one night since Hud was born a little over 2 1/2 years ago. Anyway - I guess this is just my little gripe session in the hopes that I can expel some of the anxiety.

Thanks for listening and if anyone gets a chance to check on them . . . please feel free as I am hoping they will not exist on pasta and hot dogs until my return.

PS: I guess this is someone's way of reminding me how blessed I am to have such a wonderful family!!
