SO TRUE! <BR/><BR/>Good that you went on your first night away. I haven't yet (Mommy Guilt) and really want to. <BR/><BR/>I totally feel the same way about not sleeping when you finally should. When my son FINALLY started sleeping through the night, I would toss, turn, get up check on him etc etc. I was in anxiety the whole night. <BR/><BR/>Pass those cookies. Gotta get me a tankini. <BR/><BR/>LisaKelly Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212604900842069797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-1153530012305266952006-07-21T20:00:00.000-05:002006-07-21T20:00:00.000-05:00so glad you and the tankini enjoed yourselves... t...so glad you and the tankini enjoed yourselves... the first time away is a big deal!!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120658117796151128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-1153489238617731872006-07-21T08:40:00.000-05:002006-07-21T08:40:00.000-05:00Oh, you brought it all back for me the first time ...Oh, you brought it all back for me the first time I left my daughter...<BR/>You are so bang on the money for the primal need that happens...<BR/>Now, pass me that wine and cookies and listen to some more music...Pendullumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11833881250780345533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-1153459205999430992006-07-21T00:20:00.000-05:002006-07-21T00:20:00.000-05:00Ditto what the domesticator says and sorry you cou...Ditto what the domesticator says and sorry you couldn't get a good night's rest on a night off.

I've been to Harbourlights (or whatever they're calling it this week) - does that count? <BR/><BR/>Mommy guilt sucks, but I have it in spades, too. <BR/><BR/>Y'know what's even better than cookies and wine? Chocolate and wine. And if you add a cup of really dark coffee to the equation, it's almost orgasmic. Sip of coffee. Nibble of chocolate. Sip of wine (I prefer red). <BR/><BR/>I can't wait until I can have a drink again. Can't.

I haven't left my son yet, but I have a feeling it will be hard when I do. I also have a feeling that I might just forget about him (oh so temporarily) if I were to bite into a delicious mushroom ravioli and a crab cake. But just for that moment.
