I just sent my boys off for their first overnight adventure together. I know that it will be good for them to have this experience, and good for Gray to be away from me for the night, but I can't help feeling overwhelmingly sad.
It's hard to know what kind of parent you will be before you become one, but I never thought that I would be the kind of mom that would have such a hard time being separated from Gray. I can count on one hand (or 2 fingers, to be exact) the number of times I have been away from Gray overnight. Unhealthy? Maybe. Borderline psychotic? Perhaps. But I just haven't felt any need to be away from him for that long. I know that I will be fine and that, most importantly, Grayson will be fine and will have a great time at Grandpa's with just the guys.
But I just can't shake the feeling that he should be with his momma, no matter how much I will enjoy doing what ever I want for one of the first times in 3 years.

Enjoy your solo time...eat bon bons and watch soap operas...it may be a long time before it happens again.
I have only left Mags once and it was incredibly difficult. I don't want to do it again anytime soon.
Good for you! I think sometimes being the best parent is letting them go... even when it is hard for us as Mommies. You are great! (Can you imagine what we are going to be like in two years when we talk about... gasp...I can't even say it. KINDERGARTEN?)
I certainly hope you slept in!!! It will only be a few short weeks before you can't sleep in for a while. Oh to be able to sleep without having to get out of bed. The memories. :)
