Well, tomorrow at this time, my husband and I will be headed to the airport for our trip to HAWAII!!!!!! 
And, except for my plane ticket, the Air Force is paying for pretty much the whole thing!
This vacation is much needed -- especially after the past week. (A single word sums up most of the trouble -- rotavirus!) My husband and I are both exhausted and somewhat demoralized about how well we are doing as spouses and as parents. It will be good to recharge. We are going, in part, for a military medical meeting, and will be seeing some old friends, so that will be fun. My husband will also be meeting with the assignments officer to see if we can get another assignment for the final two years that we owe Uncle Sam. Here's hoping!
I am a little nervous about leaving my boys, but my mother-in-law is coming in today to stay with them and she really does a great job. I wish everyone had a mother-in-law like her. I will miss them, but I know I will be a better mommy once I have had some time away. Hopefully my husband and I can have some fun and pretend we don't have any responsibilities, at least for a week. Things have not been easy for either of us since we moved up here, so hopefully this break will help us put the past year and four months behind us and give us the strength for whatever lies ahead.
So, I'll "see" you all when I get back!

) But, at the end of the day, how wonderful for your children to know the love and care of another adult. This will help them achieve self confidence and independence. They will know that someone else besides mom can meet their needs. But don't be afraid, mom will always remain number one. (Can you tell that I've had to chant this to myself as I've boarded the plane?)
