Abby is only 6 yrs old and yesterday I fought back tears 5 times when she pre-boarded the plane and traveled to St. Louis by herself for the first time to visit Grandma and Papa. She'll be gone for 12 days. The longest I've ever been away from her was for 3 days and that 3rd day was pure hell for me. Abby, on the other hand was very excited and couldn't get on that plane fast enough.

I know I'll start going crazy in a few days but for now but I have to be honest with you and say that this has been the most relaxing Sunday I've experienced in 6 years. I woke up on my own. I didn't watch one single cartoon. The house has been very quiet. I don't have share snuggle time with my husband. We can get up and do whatever we want whenever we want. We have no idea what to do though so we haven't done anything, but it's nice knowing we could.
