"See ya later Alligator"...

says kolby when i tell him that mommy and daddy are going out of town tomorrow. Yes my friends, the time has come. Its been almost three years and we've decided to have our first getaway. We'll be in San Antonio for a long weekend and i couldn't be more excited! As aweful as it sounds, I'm not gonna lie, I need a break from my kids. I love them, its just I need a break from motherhood in general. Since january 2005 I've been either pregnant or nursing, my kids decided they hate me and never took a bottle. As of two weeks ago, Olivia is officially weaned and I'm sensing a bit of freedom! Basically I want to drive in the car without hearing crying, eat without having to chop up small bits in between each of my bites, wake up by my own free will, and just breathe without constantly worrying if someone is safe and happy and entertained. When I come home i promise to do all of the above with a better attitude. As a side note...i freaked out the other day realizing that since i was no longer prego or nursing i should probably stop eating as if I am. I told Daniel that I was going to get fat. He told me I should exercise twice as much. The correct response would have been, "You look beautiful no matter what" or "You always look hot" or "You've had two children and look great, you don't need to worry about what you eat". Boy was he way off! A lie would have been much better:)
