My Dilema
Ok, so as many of you know I have never been without my babies. When I was in the hospital with Jordyn my Dad and Jenny had Connor, but I at least saw him everyday. Patrick and I have the opportunity to go on a cruise in November for 8 days, and I am just sick over it. I know how wonderful an 8 day cruise would be for us (Patrick will be working most of the time). Would I enjoy myself or would I go crazy missing my babies. I honestly think I could handle 4 days away (Connor will be 3 Jordyn will be 1 1/2)But missing 8 days of their lives? How could I forgive myself.
someday i will hopefully have the opportunity to go tour around italy again and although it would be terribly hard, i would totally do it. and it would be for 15 days. would i probably be a little miserable...or a lot? yes, but you have to protect YOUR time too. you will be a better mama for it.

Absolutely do it. Remember those kids when we babysat who were like, SEVEN, and they had never been away from their parents? Remember how horrendous they were? And all because no one ever wanted to leave them. Marie's right. Protect your sanity, too. It'll be good for everyone.

Absolutely! You have to do this for you and the kids. And now while they're young is the perfect opportunity- they can't have any crazy wild parties where cars end up in ditches and their friends end up with pennies under their tongues! Just add international calling to your cell phone- it will probably only work when in port but it will give you peace of mind.
