With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season about to become history, I'm already looking forward to 2009. Several moms I know said that the hectic holiday season has pushed them over the edge. Despite the economy, they are planning child-free getaways in the next month even if it's just one night at a local hotel.
Are you planning to take a break?


We took two days away in October and will be gone two days next week. Neither were really vacations as much as things that the baby and 9 year old wouldn't enjoy or be able to attend. The first was a wedding in Vegas and next week is MacWorld (we have Apple related obligations for nearly the entire time we are there). While it is hard to leave the boys sometimes a little mommy daddy alone time is very refreshing. I don't think I could go longer than 48 hours at this point though.
