T minus 2 days

For Christmas I gave Ben this:

 

For those of you unfamiliar with deciphering latitude and longitude - we're going to Maui...on Thursday...for a week. We have never been away from our kids for this long and I've been excited about it...until just a few minutes ago. Our kids are going to be very well taken care - we have awesome family and friends that are fighting over who gets to stay where. As I was typing up instructions for each kid a panic set over me. What if something happens to us? What if something happens to the kids? It's not a completely irrational fear but it's put a damper on my otherwise joyous mood. We've never had a will but I started writing down my wishes. What I want done with the insurance money, where I want the kids to live, where I want them to go to school. That whole line of thinking has made me an emotional wreck and if we hadn't paid for this vacation already I would have canceled it and spent the next week cuddling the bejeezes out of my kids. But I know deep down that we will be fine, the kids will be fine. Ben and I will come back rejuvenated, tan and ready to be even better parents. Hopefully the kids will still want us to be their parents! They may not even realize we are gone :)
