My Anxiety Has Reached to a Whole New Level
These last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of BUSY!
I cannot BELIEVE that we are in Thanksgiving month and in a few short weeks,
Christmas! We had an AMAZING time this last Halloween as we walked in our
neighborhood as a Dalmatian dog family-per Donovan’s request!
Tony and I will embark on an adult vacation on a cruise
ship to Mexico! First time for Tony, 2nd cruise for me. As we have
been preparing and planning for the last 3 months, my thought of leaving
Donovan behind was only a “thought” and never really made an impact on my mommy
emotions. Beginning yesterday, I began to feel anxiety and stress as I realized
that we will be leaving Donovan the longest we have EVER left him! And in
ANOTHER COUNTRY! Raise your hand if you planned a trip away from your kiddos
and teared up every time you thought of leaving?! Donovan will be in good hands
with his grandparents on the farm in Oregon and with his grandparents here in
Seattle.
Now that Donovan is 4, this kid has shown new emotions
and feelings that just keeps amazing me and makes me want to spent more and
more time with him! So preparing for this trip, we talked up how he is going to
spend quality time on the farm, how much fun he is going to have and how fast
the week will go.
I always wonder if he misses us or even thinks about us,
so in order to ensure he does not forget about us, Tony and I had prepared little gift bags that he will open every day.
Inside will contain a little vehicle toy, a picture and a treat. I can only imagine his face when he opens it!
This upcoming trip will be such a good time for Tony and
I to reconnect as a couple and I can truthfully say, “force” us to rekindle our
relationship. As much as I will miss Donovan and probably cry when we get on
the plane, it is always a good thing to work on and strengthen the foundation
of a family….the marriage of the parents.
I cannot WAIT to
share our trip with you guys when it’s over!
Have a great
weekend!
XOXOXO
Tiff
