Calgon, take me away....

This will be short & sweet because I've lots to do before lunch today!

I've been feeling very burnt out with parenting- I've gotten lax with discipline and have been using the "threaten" method for far too long, plus Atticus has not slept entirely through the night since before Christmas (he's going through an "I'm scared of everything" phase), plus the stage he is in as far as personality development is pretty draining...

Needless to say, I need some time to just "check out", so I'm going with my wonderful friend Deanna for a mommy-break weekend... nothing but scrapping & girl time ahead on my immediate future.

I'll be without internet connection, which means I'm going to be missing all the CHA festivities online, but you can keep an eye on them here:

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'm counting down the hours until I'm outta here! :)

    Have fun! We all need a break. I can certainly relate to the "no sleep, I'm scared" stuff. After my son broke his leg, I was up every couple hours for weeks. Then once he wasn't in pain anymore he was scared of his room, scared of everything, and joined at my hip. We've been spending the last few weeks getting back to "normal".

    Enjoy your time!!! All of us moms need time away to relax and refresh our minds. I hope to see lots of scrappy goodness on your blog when you get back :)

    I hope you girls have fun! I will be a wee bit jealous!

    I can relate to the "scared" phase. My Chap is still in it. He has night terrors. And, I hope your little guy does NOT! Just hug him and love him! He just wants to be safe! It is tiring, but super sweet at the same time!

    You girls have fun........and think of me when you look at your little trash bucket AND THERE IS NOTHING IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehe
