Going on Retreat

I am leaving today for a weekend silent retreat based upon St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises.  I think it has been eight years since I last made a retreat, and I am really looking forward to it.  This will also be the first time since becoming a mother that I will be sleeping away from both of my children!  I am very thankful for this opportunity to go on the retreat by myself.  It's probably about the best timing that I could hope for vis a vis the kids' ages and nighttime needs.  If you think of me, please say a prayer that it is a fruitful weekend for me.
