I'm this big jumble of emotions right now. It ocurred to me last night that I've never been away from Zion longer than just "overnight," and then when I really started thinking about it - same with Mike. Well, since we got married anyway. I'm really, really nervous about this. I don't even like all the time I spend at work on the weekends, and I'm about to drive halfway across the country for a week!
But. I'm also starting to get excited. Chicago, baby. I, Sara Mabin, am driving to Chicago with two close friends and my rockstar of a sister for an entire week of SCRAPBOOKING RELATED GOODNESS.
Cool trip? Oh hell yes. Martha's already sent us links to the scrappy stores in the Chicago area, and I'm hoping like heck that one of them happens to be in a trendy little shopping district so I can feel cultured and cool for a few minutes. Not too long - just long enough that I can justify being away from my boys for a week.
(But honey, I was absorbing the ambience!)
Anybody been there? Got any good suggestions?

it's funny. today, while i was doing the dishes, i was thinking about our trip away from our babies. I wondered if you had been away from Z.
I have been away from Will that long. When I came back, it was weird, and kinda hard to get back into the swing of things. This will be the first time away from Spencer.
So, my thought then went to your "rock star sister." I started to feel sorry for her. Why? Because you know we are gonna be talking about the kids constantly. We will go thru the "i miss my baby" phases, too. SO your poor sister is going to have to endure all those emotions us mothers will have.
I think being away from the babies will be the hardest part of the trip. woohoo!
It doesn't happen often ladies...so enjoy yourselves! Remember that every good mother deserves a break!
