No Shell, you're definitely NOT a bad mummy for taking a couple of days off. In fact, if the days alone help the relationship with Lee, then you could argue that NOT going would be the wrong thing to do.
We were invited to a no-kids wedding last NYE. Maya was only 6m and I was soooo worried. We were in Suffolk for the holidays and the wedding was in Gretna Green and of friends from Australia, so we couldn't take her with us (I'd looked for babysitters and failed). In the end, it all went brilliantly. We had a great time for the 3 days we were away, Maya had a blast and despite all my calls home, didn't appear to miss us at all!
You'll have a great time I'm sure. Just call a few times at the beginning to check Alex is Ok, once he is, feel free to kick back and relax..... I wonder where you're going? abroad you reckon? Rome, Istanbul, Skegness....the world beckons!!
hugs
