I think most people know that I post the night before. It’s just the best way for me. You know, to do it after the boys are in bed and when my mind is clear as mud.
Last night though, I went out. With the girls. With other Moms to a local festival that was centered around wine. There were crafts, shops open with all kinds of fun stuff (found something really cute for my Favorite Things swap with McMommy!) and then there was some wine…. ah yeah…
Although honestly, I didn’t drink very much because I used my rental mini-van as the party bus and so I kind of became the DD. We still had a great time of course and this was pretty funny… As we were looking at the little map that gave the layout of the festival we saw that in one area they had a Kids Zone. We all looked up from our maps with huge smiles on our faces and said, “We don’t need that tonight!!!” We didn’t even get within 100 1000 feet…
So now we all know why there was no post up late last night. I was just too tired from all the kid-less fun! ; )
p.s. Thanks to my MIL for baby-sitting! : )
p.p.s. My friend Heidi took some pics, if I get her to email me one I will post it!
p.p.s.s. I love my children, just need a break sometimes. K, I’m done.

Hey, we all need a break and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it! It makes us good moms. I am with ya!
Krystyn says
How fun to have a girls night out.
And, I agree…we all love our kids, but we definitely need a break. I think we are better parents for it, too!

How fun–I know what you are talking about. We plan on going tonight but we always bring the kids but I bet it would be a very fun girls’ night out!

See, you should have told them you would drive the duct tape vehicle and you would have gotten to drink more.

Congrats on the escape. I still can’t figure out how to pull that off. I mean people offer to babysit but they never leave their # or tell me where they live..
Christina says
GrapeFest? Fun! I’ve never been but want to sometime. Three cheers for MNO!
I usually post the night before, too…or during the day when the kid’s in school!

We all need the breaks! They make us better mothers.

Glad you had a good time, those kinds of things are priceless!

One of these years I’m going to make it to that festival. We are always doing other stuff, unfortunately.
See you at the shower next week! We’ll have to take a picture so we can blog about it.

Every mommy NEEDS a girl’s night out every once in awhile. I have a group of girlfriends that I go out with once a month and it is critical to my well being!

Yes, we all need those breaks. I love going by Kristen every once in awhile instead of Mama, MOMMY, and HEY.

Jaimee says
OOOHH!! Congrats on your night out! I wanted to go to Grapefest, but the babysitting offers are few and far between around here! So glad you got to enjoy an awesome night!

Oh, how fun! You gotta get away every now and then just to maintain your sanity.

Sound like you had a fun night out. I am overdue for a girl’s night.
Can’t wait to see what you picked up for McMommy.

Much deserved Elaine!
We all need more of those.
I think it makes us better Mommys.
