Ultimate Vacation Getaway!!

I am well overdue for a vacation.  I can't even remember the last time I went on a vacation.  And when I say vacation, I'm not talking about some place in state that almost everybody has been to.  I'm talking about a real vacation.  Some place new, wonderful, exotic, warm...  I could go on and on.

Can you believe to my husband and I have been together six years officially and we have NEVER been on a vacation together?!!  It's sad I know, but work schedules and other issues always seemed to get in the way.  And this summer I'll be grounded until Baby JJ arrives.  After my delivery I still won't be in vacation ready state because there's that dreaded recovery time physically.  Plus, I've been getting a lot of crap from my family about me wanting to take a newborn out of the country.

Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is.  I've been a mommy before and I know how rough it can be.  However, that's exactly why a cruise would be perfect.  I could have some luxurious escape time.  Anyways, by this time next year Baby JJ will be almost one and Moo will be 3.  I'm determined that nothing is going to stop me from taking my ultimate vacation to the Cove Atlantis!!  Check out that view below:

I think that the hubby and I will have more than earned this vacation and with God willing we are going to take it.  This place has everything from spas, to adult only pool areas, shopping, breath-taking sights and more!!  I know that this means we are going to have to do some serious savings because I want to do some serious shopping.  However, when it comes to booking, I'm leaving this in the hands of the trusty people from Orbitz to help us find the right package deal.  Yes, you can save hundreds on vacation spots outside the US by using travel sites like Orbitz.  The more money you save on the travel, the more money you can spend on shopping and eating!!

When was the last time you and your family went on vacation?

Oh So Emotional

Greetings out there.  So, I think that I'm finally hitting the wall where I'm about to give out from being overwhelmed.  I've been doing so well with this single/co-parenting thing until recently. I have to admit that having Moo pretty much 24/7 is stressful at times. Not that it's her fault or anything. But it's hard to get work done and do my bookkeeping when you have a busy one year old crying in the background because her favorite toy is out of reach.

 Hell, I can't even go to the bathroom without hearing the patter of little feet trailing behind me.  Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that she is my number one fan and finds it cute to see what Mommy does every second.  However, I am in need of some alone time.  I feel like my life is at a crossroad of sorts and I need some peace and quiet to figure it out.  I pointed out to Moo's father that he could be more helpful.

I suggested that instead of sticking to his court ordered every other weekend visits, it would be nice if he stepped up to the plate and volunteered to keep her on his days off as well.  Even though she wouldn't be staying overnight, I could do a lot of work with an entire afternoon free from Mommy Duty.  I think that it's time for this SuperMom to hang up her cape for a few hours.
