Separation Anxiety: Countdown To 2.0's Visit At Grandma's House

I'm so very excited about the end of this month.  I get to take a trip with the women of my church to Women of Faith in Des Moines.  From what I heard about last year's trip, it was amazing for the women who got to attend and I can't wait to go this year.  Especially since I'm not breastfeeding...:)

Along with my trip comes another trip though.  2.0 is spending about five or six days with Grandma in Byron, IL.  He's also making a special trip to see his Great Grandma in Mt. Olive and he'll meet his Great Aunt Tonya and Great Uncle Paul for the first time.  It will be so much fun for him and I'm very thankful that my mom wants to spend that much time with 2.0 one on one.

But I've never been away from my son for longer than about ten hours.  And he's going to be gone for days...

I know that he'll be just fine.  He's going to have so much fun with Grandma.  He'll get to play with the dogs and go fishing (maybe) and walk around in the yard picking up sticks with Grandma...they will have a ball.

But Mama won't know what to do with herself when the little one is gone.

Nate and I are already talking about saving some money so we can go see a movie.  I'll also be able to catch up on my housework without an 18 month old running around.  I can actually sit and knit and watch movies I can't watch because 2.0 is here...

I'll miss my little guy, but I'm sure that the time will go by very quickly.  The time leading up to it sure will pass quick.

It's also very entertaining to me that I'm probably going to have more severe separation anxiety than 2.0 will.
