Got to get this off my chest... leaving Jak overnight
I'm going out tomorrow night, but it's not to somewhere local it's into Nottingham which is 2 hours drive away. I'm staying over at my friends' house and then my other friend who's driving us there is driving us back by about 11am on Sunday. I've got a massive supply of EBM in the freezer, hubby knows how to work the sterilizer and everything, plus he tends to do Jak's bath in the evening as he's out at work all day and it's nice Daddy-son time for them, so no worries there.
I just can't get my head around actually going. I've been looking forward to it for about 7 weeks, it's been planned for ages and I sort of just got swept along. It's even for my benefit - I missed so many big nights out in Nottingham because I was pregnant or looking after a teeny baby that the girls just wanted us to all have a proper girly night out on the town. It's almost here, and I can't actually imagine my baby waking up to no mummy. Am I mental? I can't help thinking I'm going to end up picking up the phone and cancelling. Please give me a virtual slap, I need to feel normal again but I've been pretending so far and I feel like I'm about to explode at the world.

You will have a fab time but your not mental sweetie don't you dare cancel! Jak needs a mummy who has a little bit of her time too go out let your hair down in those skinny jeans then when you come home the cuddle will be SO worth it!

I do think that you should try and get out though because you will probably have a great time and it might be a good way of relaxing!!
And if she's with Daddy (Primary Care Giver No 2 ) then there's nothing to worry about!
Enjoy yourself and then you'll get one of those 'Daddy's home' smiles that I'm rather envious of!!

I'm still in two minds, plus my friend's hurt her back so I'm not even sure we can go as she's doing the driving. The uncertainty doesn't help me make a decision, completely mad! I really hope I don't wake up tomorrow and it's a bad day, I've had a lot of good days this week and that tends to mean I'm due for an awful one...
We have left Tyler a few times with the grandparents due to the lack of sleep and unable to function, he has been fine and apart from the house being too quiet i think its done us good as we start arguing with sleep deprivation. we are going to see peter andre on wednesday for valentines and stay overnight in a hotel and he will be with grandparents then. Only problem is because of his issues they need to have the day off the next day to recover !
have a fab time, they can have a boys night !

Sorry to start such a daft thread, it's so small a 'problem' compared to some of the stuff you guys are going through, I know I shouldn't complain. Arg!!! I want my old, normal brain back!
Its not a daft thread leaving them is hard and your going through stuff too its hard for you at minute and you shouldn't apologise for needing support
I hope you had a fab time x x x x
Whatis it about them smelling so good? x
