A few weekends ago my mom was able to come stay with Gus and Maddie so Josh and I could have a night away. I was so looking forward to being able to get a full night's sleep since I haven't since Maddie was born.
I cried when we drove away, but I was fine after a few minutes. I just love my babies so much it is hard for me to leave them!
We drove a little over an hour to a nearby city. We found a new place to try for lunch. (thank you urbanspoon on my iPhone!) It was perfect. Here's a look at some of what we enjoyed there.
I have a really sweet husband who took me shopping for some new clothes. I really needed some after being pregnant with Gus and Maddie.
We went to a banquet that evening with a coworker. The food was very good.
I really enjoy getting to sleep all night!
The next morning we did some shopping for Gus's birthday them headed home. . It was so refreshing for me to have a break. I didn't know quite what to do when I could get out of the car with just my purse and not have to get a baby. And of course the only way I was able to enjoy it was that I wasn't worried about the kids at all. They had so much fun with MiMi they didn't miss us! Thank you Mom!
So glad you were able to enjoy some time away. Sounds like you guys had a great time.
ReplyDeleteIt is truly amazing what just one night away can do to refresh and revive you. I always cry a bit leaving my kids too but it is always worth it to have some one on one time!
ReplyDeleteOooh, that glorious peaceful sleep:-) So important! I went to NYC by myself a few weeks ago, and definitely had to talk myself off the "aghhhh, I can't go!" ledge! xoxo
