Another Vacation....YAY!!!

I have planned a vacation for just me and Derek.  I have been planning it for months and it is coming up really soon (it was part of his birthday gift)!  He deserves it so much!!  I just love that guy and love to make him smile.  I am so excited.  It will be a blast!!  It will be so nice to spend time together.  We are going to Vegas and staying at the newest hotel that just opened in December....Cosmopolitan.  I have so much lined up that we are going to do.  I think Derek will really enjoy it too!  I will write about the things we did when we return from our vacation.  :-)

It is so nice to get away and I truly believe it is a “healthy” thing to do.  But, for me, it is so hard to leave my kids.  I cry weeks prior to leaving them.  I know, I am crazy!!!  I just love those 3 kids so much and I miss them when I just go to work!!!  I am afraid that I am going to miss out on something when I am not home with them.  Those kids are my everything!  But, I know I will have a blast with Derek and I am looking forward to spending “quality” time with him.  We both need “much needed rest time” and it will be awesome.....but, I WILL MISS MY KIDS TREMENDOUSLY!!!

On a side note....I did it!  I can’t believe I really did it!!!  I had that talk at work and said those words.....  I can’t believe this is really going to happen!!  All I have ever wanted was to be home with my family.  I miss them so much when I am working and I am hoping this time next year I will be able to have alot more time to give to my family.  This is the best thing ever!!  I can’t believe I did it...did I already say that?  Can you tell I am really excited!  It was very hard to say those words strongly at work.  VERY HARD!  I am giving up so much money that I have worked soooooo hard for but it will be all worth it!!!!!!!!!!!  I hope this happens.  I already have a perfect life but this will complete me ~
