Well day two was short and sweet. We reviewed photos that we had taken with our new cameras and had them critiqued. The Sony Mommy Blogger Event has been such a blessing to me. I am so lucky to have been a part of this. Even though, I was fairly shy at the event, I stood back and watch all of the other mommy bloggers and it was so good to be in a room full of women that all shared the same interest. There were no stupid questions or the feeling that people didn’t know what you were talking about. We all spoke the same geeky language and all understood exactly what the other was saying.

Since I am originally from the east coast, the time change is awful. I am so tired and drained. My brain is crammed full of important information that I have nothing more I can take other than getting a good nights rest.

Updates are coming slowly, so keep staying tuned.

Today is the day. The big announcement of the “secret trip” I have been talking about for the past month. I am in California attending the Sony Mommy Blogger Event. I was one of only 15 women chosen to attend. I feel honored and so very lucky to be here. Sony has flown us all across the country and put us in this ritzy hotel. It all feels like a dream. I don’t belong here. I am so far out of my element that it is not even in funny.

I have less than an hour before I have to be downstairs to meet all of the other mommy bloggers. I will get a list to you of all the other people that are going to be here as well so you can do a little blog hopping if you would like.

I thought that I could handle it. I thought that I would be cool, calm, and collected. I thought that I could go on a nice five day trip without looking back. Leaving the boys with my husband wasn’t easy. Being on the opposite end of the United States makes things worse. Having that sinking feeling in your gut when you get off the plane, that brings tears to your eyes.

After landing, I talked with my husband and I couldn’t help but start crying. Hearing stories of pnut running around the house saying “I can’t find her” breaks my heart. My pnut is looking for me and I’m not there. *heart breaks into a million tiny pieces* I miss my squishy baby and his sweet kisses. I’m sure I sound like the worst sap right now and even possibly the biggest wuss, but this is my first time without my children and I am a million miles away from them, I have the right to freak out and cry a little….right? Please tell me it is OK to cry. Besides, I have to get it out now before I make an even worse idiot of myself tomorrow.

I tried to play the cool card, I really did. I was strong in front of my husband but really I am falling apart.

Well, I’m being a girly mess right now missing my children so I am going to go to bed and sleep it off. Wish me luck as I have a HUGE day planned tomorrow. Also, visit my flickr album for photos that I have taken so far.

BTW, I am in California!!!
