Freaking out....

Tomorrow, Jon and I are heading to North Carolina. And...here is the clincher....we are leaving Kennedy with my wonderful friend Tina and her family. This will be the first time I have left her for more than a couple hours since I quit working.

I realize that most of you with kids probably leave them all the time - b/c when I started telling some of my friends - they were almost shocked that I hadn’t done it before. But it is sooo different if you don’t have family close by! Who would be crazy enough to volunteer to keep her!? ha-ha! TINA! :)

Also - the only experience I have of leaving her is with the babysitter when I was working. Most of you remember that she wasn’t getting fed...seriously....and she would be completely distraught when I picked her up each day...and she was a baby. I have no idea what all went on there....but neglect is certainly the key word.

So...that being my only experience - I am worried!! I’m not worried that Tina will not do a good job. She is a wonderful mother who loves her girls soooo much! I’m worried about Kennedy! She is sooo high maintenance and she is my baby! I guess I turned into one of those moms.... :)

But...I am sooo thankful that I have a friend like Tina to do this wonderful thing for Jon and I. Once I know Kennedy is fine...we will be able to relax and really enjoy ourselves!! I’m really looking forward to adult conversation - and a meal with no food thrown on the floor or drinks spilled..... well - I guess I still am out with Jon...ha-ha!! Well anyway - it will be nice. :)

TJ told us that he is only doing this for Jon - and sang .... Boum-chicka-boum-boum. :) Jon says..."PRESSURE"!! :)

So...if you think of it....say a prayer for Tina and for me and for my baby. :)
