Lots going on....insert anxiety.

Brandon and I are about to take our 1st getaway. Ever. The 2 of us have never been on a trip ANYWHERE without at least one child with us. Crazy huh?! It may sound like no big deal to most parents, but I am so anxious about it. Makes it worse that it is the 1st one, I know. I am so excited about our trip and am really looking forward to it, but I am not a Mama that likes to leave my babies. I am perfectly fine with one nighters, but this 3 night thing across the United States thing is a whole new thing. That thing has my anxiety levels UP. High.
My awesome Mother-in-law in flying down from Missouri to stay with my babies. That means the absolute world to Brandon and me. They are so excited about her coming and that warms my heart. I also love that the is staying extra days so that we can all hang out as a family. We miss her so much and don't get to see her as often as we like. The visit will be nice. I know the boys will be in great hands! That is not my concern at all. Porter is quite the Mama's boy though, so I am not sure how he will do. I am praying like crazy.
I am a control freak. That adds to my anxiety immensely. I don't like that I am too many states away if, God forbid, something happens. I am just trying to find peace in prayer.
My emotions are also on edge because in 2 weeks.....Garner starts Kindergarten. I have held it together so far. I think the combo of these 2 events may break the dam holding back the tears though. Hope my husband has braced himself ;)
