Leaving the boys behind

This evening I leave for 4 days away.

I have written before about how hard it is to leave Baby B and I know that any parent will understand. It literally feels like you are leaving a part of your heart behind. The noisier, demanding but every so amazing part.

Whilst working, maintaining my independence and ever so occasionally taking some time away is important to me, it doesn’t make it easy to do. The guilt raises its ugly head and can become rather unbearable if I allow myself to think about it too much.

So this trip is the first without BOTH my boys.  It is also the first time that Daddy A will be left solely in charge of Baby B for four whole days ! Normally we travel together. I know that he is relishing it and I also know that he will probably do a better job then me!

So where am I going you may wonder…………well I am going to……..IBIZA!

Gosh, I am 31 and going to Ibiza. Not the mad part I might add, the quieter side of the Island with my lovely, very young and gorgeous Aunty, for some R&R before the wedding. I will still be working as that never stops but working in the sun is always much easier. Except for when you can’t see the laptop screen.

I leave my boys in each others safe hands and hope that by the time the plane takes off I will have stopped crying into my G&T.

Here I come sun
