It will happen though - just not yet!<br /><br />SC, what a fabulous idea, although could I make mine a mojito rather than white wine? (I don't get to drink mojito's often, and especially not with G&B's, but it seems like a good idea...)<br /><br />Thanks DF! I need the luck!<br /><br />MT, let's all go on a virtual holiday. Can I pick the destination? I go for Mauritius. Or, oooh ooh, the Maldives?<br /><br />Mrs OMG, I defintely agree. A holiday would make me a better mother. And that's what I'm telling Husband when I do eventually pack my suitcase to head off for it.<br /><br />Sharon, ah, the delights of the private schooling system mean that Boy #1's holiday starts... this week. Oh well.<br /><br />Tasha, wise words, and I promise I will get to it. Some time next year, probably!<br /><br />BM, yes I did the ski trip with the girls myself a couple of years back.

Not only did I not think about them for five WHOLE days, I skiid like a mad woman, felt hugely exhilerated, slept like a log and ate like a horse. It was truly fabulous.<br /><br />Although not skiing season, why not take yourself off on some kind of 'physical' type holiday? Really does the trick.<br /><br />I'd come with you but you may end up delivering my baby..<br /><br />BM xBush Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527939624765411649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-9534743477766684622009-07-05T08:22:59.417+01:002009-07-05T08:22:59.417+01:00It doesn't make you a bad mum, no.

I remember feeling guilty about enjoying getting away for a day and a half when we went to scatter my dad's ashes. Ridiculous. <br /><br />And, yes, a break will make you a better mum. Absolutely. You will find you appreciate the boys much more and actively want to spend time with them, rather than being obliged to, if you see what I mean. <br /><br />If I were you, I would pull out all the stops and try to organise something. A weekend away next time hubby is back from his travels, or leaving the boys with relatives or friends, if that's not possible? <br /><br />Sounds like you could really do with it, and you know what they say...

In fact I think it's actually a necessity so hope you manage to wangle something, preferably before the school holidays start. Could the boys visit their Grandparents while your husband is away, even if only for a couple of days. I'm sure you'd find a friend who'd love to share a break with you.sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247276433803886670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-33788952721448663392009-07-04T21:24:10.705+01:002009-07-04T21:24:10.705+01:00I think a break is good for the soul ... yours and...I think a break is good for the soul ... yours and theirs, so if you can, then do!
