oh Amy you are too hard on yourself… I wish instead of feeling guilty you felt only grateful… grateful that you get to take a great trip, and grateful that Sophie gets to learn to cope with sadness under the loving guideance of her dad:)

Ohh..good mom!! As a former “Even Sister” I would have killed for some one-on-one time. Have a happy, happy Sophie Wednesday and a well-deserved Portland Playdate!

One-on-one time is ALWAYS the right choice. It so rarely happens. I’m still planning these trips — my kids are 17 and 15. The long-term value outweighs the guilt you’ll feel upon goodbye, which will be fleeting. Remember when our mothers used to tell us, “Life isn’t fair”? I’ve tried to limit myself in saying that to my kids, but it’s true. One person’s fair always comes at a “cost” to someone else (public education!). You’ve created an excellent balance with Sophie Day. BOTH girls are blessed to call you mom.

I think it will be great for everyone. I totally get the guilt, but truly, I think it will be wonderful.

And, Portland? Of course it will be awesome!
Give my favorite city a squeeze for me, will you?

Oh I think she’ll enjoy her special daddy time- a nice father /daughter breakfast, popcorn in front of a movie (Toy Story or Ice Age is my recommendation). But she’ll miss you and you’ll get one of those super duper, jump on top of you welcomes- hooray!
Have a wonderful time- sounds like a great tradition!
