I did it. I went on a "weekend for me" with four other moms.

It was a BLAST. I weaned DS, kissed DD, gave my husband one of about a thousand "thank yous" and ...left. A ninety minute flight later I was in a "destination town" sipping a fantastic wine and hot tubbing with girlfriends. I played pool, ate GREAT food, went hiking, got hit on, shopped, and went horseback riding. My friend's house was beautiful and every room had its own bathroom and looked like a "Better Homes and Gardens" example. A PERFECT girls weekend.

I am reborn.

It lasted Friday morning to Sunday night and it was great. I love my kids, I love my husband and I'm glad to be back!

I am very lucky!

PS....DH is having his first REAL interview as I type. Wow.

Sounds fantastic!

All the more reason why we have to get this med spouses meeting off the ground.

Jenn

and good luck with the interview, keep us posted.

I totally agree!

Here's to more blissful weekends in the future!

That sounds *fantastic*! Glad to hear that everything went so well.
And very inspiring....

YEAY!!! So the inlaw thing must have gone ok? I am so glad you had time away. It's amazing what even just a few hours will do for a person! (like going to have a couple beers with a co-worker after work, and an awesome greasy dinner! I did this last night and it was GREAT!) Glad you feel great, Flynn. You more than deserved it!

How great!! Your weekend sounds just divine! I'm so glad it all worked out for you.

:ra: That sounds like a blast! I am so glad you got away and had a great time. I was able to do that once for two nights and came back completely recharged and ready to take everyone and everything on. Congrats on your own time!

Thanks guys. I remembered again how "easy" my life was pre-children. I'm not saying everyone's life is that way, but mine was EASY. What did I do with all that time??

It was a good choice and kind of a celebration of a new era in our house as the "boppy pillow" can be retired for now, maybe forever!
DD and DS will be one and three respectively in October and I SO LOVE the toddler thing much better than the baby thing.
