The sippy cup free weekend. Otherwise known as a mommy/daddy, kid-free trip. I am excited, but missing my girls terribly after just a day. But it's good for mommies and daddies to get away, right? Right!?! Slight pangs of mom-guilt came over me this morning as I kissed them all good bye. Thank goodness it was 5am and they were all still sleeping.
There are exactly 3 times in the last 3 1/2 years that I have been gone overnight away from the girls. Once was the 2 days I spent in the hospital after delivering Teagan (and I guess technically that shouldn't count since I did have one of the girls with me). The second was a night spent in the hospital after being admitted for seizures. The third was just last fall when a friend and I went to Columbus overnight shopping (and the girls were with Bill at the time).
Day one nearly down. Lunch at an open-air beach cafe, laying by the pool, couples massage at the beach cabana followed by a long walk up & down Duval Street hand in hand. I sure the girls probably had more fun at home with Grammy & Pap. Never the less, one day down....4 days to go.
So, looking forward to the rest of our relaxing, reconnecting vacation together. I am sure it'll bring us closer together and help us be better parents who are a little less stressed out. And for the next four days, the only plastic cup with a straw in it that I want to see is from the cabana boy!!!!
