I'm so bummed :(

H and I were supposed to go to VT in October for our first overnight without the kids ever! Now because of this stupid project at H's work he can't take any PTO in October. He will also probably be working all the weekends.

I know this is a HUGE deal in his industry and he is basically in charge of seeing his company through all of the changes. He is working very closely with the COO and and getting a lot of great face time that will help him get his next promotion. But I'm still bummed. I wanted a child free overnight trip!

Maybe we can go to NY around Christmas for a night.

I'm sorry! I completely understand how you feel. We were supposed to go to Florida in April and I got super excited and started planning everything. DH owns his own business and got a huge job so we couldn't go.

That sucks but Christmas time in NY will be so nice.

[awkwardpenguin]

I'm sorry! I'd be really disappointed.

That really sucks. Hopefully you guys can plan an alternate trip. We still haven't done an overnight without DS, but I'm looking forward to planning something....someday, not sure when, though.

Oh, that sucks. I hope you can plan something for the winter.

Aww bummer. I would be so disappointed

That sucks I'm sorry.

Our October Vermont trip might get derailed by my wife's work too. (But ours is not child free, missing that would be so much worse, I'm sorry!!)

NYC is nice at Christmas time though.

I'm so sorry - what a bummer. I agree Christmas time in NYC is magical.

I would throw out though - if you had the childcare lined up and it wouldn't impede on your ability to take a joint trip later this year - could you still take a night to yourself? Maybe go somewhere solo and enjoy a night in a hotel, or go with a girlfriend or something?

Boo. I'm sorry. But think of how romantic NYC will be at Christmas!

Maybe. But I'd feel badly because my mom watches the kids all week too. So since H will be working she would have them while I'm gone. And I'd rather use the time for H and I to take a trip later.

I'm sorry. That does suck

I can appreciate that - but if the option DOES seem viable, I wouldn't rule it out entirely

I'm sorry. I get it too. We had to skip our cruise in May when I went on bed rest, and that was our last shot for a while!
