I am relaxed. I am refreshed. I am so happy that Kris and I were able to get away for two nights without children. I was trying to think back to the last time we left the kids...probably was last year...but it felt very overdue. We had such a wonderful time away. We dropped our kids off with parents and disappeared to another country. We ate supper in peace. I just giggled...I couldn't believe how much fun it was to think, without getting interrupted and enjoy a delicious meal without spills and stopping to help the kids eat. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy my kids but I was reminded that they keep me very busy and such a break is highly welcomed.
We were able to shop for us and the kids.We weren't able to spend much time outside with the very strong wind. Kris and I love to walk for miles but the weather just didn't allow for that so we did the next best thing...shop. I just really enjoy shopping but I find that my kids' stages make it very difficult to actually do just that as I need to balance two naps, a potty and a child in kindergarten. If my grocery store doesn't carry it, I'll put it on my waiting list for a shopping trip just like this. I was able to find great deals and clothes that work for my family. I saved $190 on just my clothes alone( yes,at Kohl's...my fav store)and probably only spent $60. From shoes and shirts....SO FUN!!! We met our friends for lunch and that meant I had a shopping partner for the rest of the day and the next when our hubbies went golfing. Our poor feet just ached after our shopping( I had bad shoes and my friend was pregnant).
So here I am, thinking back to our wonderful weekend. So thankful that we could spend time together without having to wear our 'mommy and daddy title' and learn yet again that getting away is a wonderful thing to do. I am so happy to spend time with dear friends and laugh until my sides ached. I am so happy we could get away. I am so happy I'm home. I am refreshed and ready to bless my family. I am relaxed and now ready to get busy being a mommy again.
