The Struggle
In September I am going to Southern California for a few days for work. I am having the toughest time trying to decide whether to bring the boys or not. My parents live in Palm Springs and the boys love being with them and at their house so much. But the idea of flying with both of them again by myself sends shivers down my spine. And let's face it, a little break from being "mommy" is never a bad thing. If I brought them, it would be a break for Josh (which he really deserves) but a challenge for me. It's SO hard to decide. Who wants to decide for me? Come on, you know you want to. Bueller? Bueller? (if you don't get that reference you are too young to be reading my blog).

I say... leave them at HOME!!! Take a mommy break, you deserve it!
Take advice from Ferris: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it!" Enjoy some child free time, Josh will get his time too, sometime. :)

Between the expense and logistics I vote to leave them at home unless you could bring Josh along to help with the plane ride and then ditch the boys at your folks and both enjoy a few days solo.
Good Luck!

I say take 'em..grand parents' time is GOOOD and the flight will end eventually. Your parents will love you and you'll get brownie points from your man for leaving the kids with mom and dad all day;) My take. You asked, get that look off your face.

Yes! Self-care Bonnie. Traveling with little ones is very hard. I hate it.
I had 5 days without Sophia this week while I went to Seattle and Canada, and it was a break that I totally NEEDED. I felt guilty because Mike had to take off work for a few days, but I got over it really quickly. Now, I'm refreshed and I was craving my kids by the end of my trip and was happy to be home.
Go solo.
;)

I say leave 'em. Only because that's what I would do. I loathe flying with Aidan by myself. Why not have a few days without being "Mommy"?
