So this post is mostly tongue-in-cheek, but I really did feel ALL THE GUILT over my Feb trip to the World. In fairness to me, I was invited along on my best friend's 40th birthday trip, and naturally it would have been rude to ask if my kids could come along.
But the GUILT you guys!!!! My 8 year old felt BETRAYED. She was the one I prepped WELL in advance. I laugh here, but honestly, she's in a mommy-intensive phase and I've never left them for a whole week before. And I mean, they're still younger. The 8 and 12 year old anyway. The 14 year old was fine.
I know I'll go for long weekends and such when they're older, for ME trips. But I can't do another trip that long I don't think. It really did put a little tarnish on what was otherwise an incredible trip. I still dream about the sunsets you can see from the Skyliner. And the restaurant experiences that would bore the crap out of them? I'm so grateful I did it, and as a single mom, the recharge was amazing. I had an alcoholic beverage at every meal.
Also, I saved all my snack credits and used them all for candy to take home for them. The souvenir they appreciate the most.
