MoF, I can't wait to hear how both of you(you and D) do. It is nice to have someone you trust to leave you child with overnight. We only have my MIL who is getting on in age and really doesn't like to do the overnight thing anymore. My whole family lives in another state. Anyway, wishing you lots of luck that everything goes smoothly and enjoy your time with your H. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

MoF,
You know what worriers we mothers can be, I am sure she will be fine, it's just so hard on us. I will say a prayer for you so that you may enjoy your night away, how wonderful that will be. And another prayer for your daughter that she will have a nice visit and that you will all come back together safe and sound. God bless.

oh well, fullhouse

thanks i appreciate all the words of wisdom,
I am nervous but OM assures me she will be just fine and only 28 miles away so I shouldnt worry.
I will be fine, if I make it through the night. I dont want to spoil it for H so I will not mention my worry during the night. but we can use prayers thats she will be safe and not scared.

well for those curious, D is home and safe and seemed to have had a good time, they said she did just fine, I was on pins and needles this morning to get her. couldnt wait for them to get here.
H and I had a nice time, spent to much money and had lots of fun, and I didnt mention kids once.
The exchange went nicely although ex OM made a mistake he accidently called me baby, I am sure he will hear about that one all the way home, I just pretended I did not notice. Thank god the night is over.

I'm so glad everything went well. You're one ahead of us now and don't have to worry about overnights anymore. I can understand the "baby" thing. Sometimes when I call for one of my kids I have to go through the whole list before I get the right one. It doesn't help that all my kids and H have names that start with the same letter. I think old age has something to do with it too. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

wib,
well i dont know if i would go so far as to say I wouldnt worry about over nights, but they were very respectful of my feelings and that helps me get through it.
I will be honest, it is hard to share your child, I know people do it all the time, but WOW I will learn, and her father is willing to go at my pace.

thanks, I do appreciate the encouragement I have gotten here. It has helped so much. <p> D is very clingy this evening to me and her big sister and a little over tired. But I am sure that was an experience for her as well. we made it with flying colors.

What an emotional rollercoaster life has become. Just as I think that I've got my emotions in check I read something that sets them off for yet another ride on the rollercoaster.Reading on another post where MOF said the W emailed her and thanked her for giving them a gift, by allowing her D to spend the night...I truly hope that's how I can view the OC when my it's my time.
