I have been having a hard few weeks. I have been extremely emotional. Every little thing has made me cry, I have felt like a failure as a mom and wife. I have felt overwhelmed by every aspect of my life from laundry, to Zoey, to keeping up with the house work. I have felt like I need a break from everything. This feeling of wanted to get away has not helped I feel like I should want to be with my kids but the truth is I have really been longing to get away.
Jon told me this week that we are going to go to St. Louis for a few days in October. I hesitantly asked if we were going to take the kids and he said well we don't have to. I am so excited and scared to I have never left the girls with anyone except for max four hours. It is a work trip for Jon so he keeps reminding me that he will have to spend some time with the client he is going to see. But still it will be fun.
One other thing is that this trip falls on the week of our four year anniversary.

- I am the Mommy to 4 year old Zoey, 2 year old Noelle, 1 year old Cyann, and Tenley June 2010. I spend my days juggling feedings, therapy sessions, and doctor visits along with all the normal mommy things that need to be done. Noelle was born with (Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome) RTS she was diagnosed at three months old, since then I have been learning about all the medical/therapy things that comes with having a child with special needs. I never thought that I could raise or care for a child with special needs but God shows me every day that I cant but He can. I could not be the mother of Noelle with out God working through me everyday. I could not imagine our family with out Noelle, She makes me smile and laugh every single day.

I think every couple needs time away from their kids every now and then - so they can focus on each other and sort of get "refreshed". You definitely need a break! Mommy's don't get days off!! :)
How fun! We love St. Louis!
I hope you all have a great trip. Don't feel guilty about leaving the kids one bit! I know about needing those breaks from the kiddos! Believe me, you will come home loving your kids way more than if you took them with you. You deserve a kid-free vacation! - Go for it!
