Time Away Mommies?

This one is for the cute little Mommas! Think back to when the last time you had a genuine break away from the house and kids and family. Mine was of course this weekend in Seattle, but it was a struggle pretty much from the start to convince DH that he could handle three boys for the whole weekend on top of trusting me while I was away, and maybe even not so much trusting me but trusting that some random guys weren't going to hit on me and I'd be too unsuspecting to see their conniving ways. I just wanted some time to shop and try on clothes without children poking eachother in the dressing room. Time to eat my food before it gets cold! A moment to get into deep convo with my best friend before hearing "I'm hungry!" or "He just ate something off the floor!" I really had to stand up for myself to get this. But at times I felt guilty or just plain wrong that I wasn't doing the motherly, responsible thing by just staying home and dealing. Did I take the easy way out? You bet your buns I didn't! I got a shload of CARP but I went and enjoyed myself to the best of my enjoying ability.

I guess I'm just looking for some feedback here. I feel like there are some mixed feelings floating around amongst my family. Behind my back even. I can't understand why I feel like I left without their blessing. Isn't it "If Momma ain't happy, ain't no one happy?" Maybe I need some insight into the other side of this...
