My friend Deanne wanted me to tell her what it was like to have a night away from the kids. Deanne, this post is for you. :>P
It was so relaxing! We had a great time. We soaked in the jacuzzi and swam in the pool then watched the Office with a bottle of wine and some dark chocolate. It was incredibly freeing to just have a night OFF. Just to be able to relax a little. It was so needed. Now, y'all know that I tend to be just slightly neurotic.
Well.....
I put the blankets on the bed without tucking in the bottom and doing hospital corners. I left towels on the floor overnight. I left the toothpaste lid off the toothpaste.
Okay, I made that last bit up. I thought about leaving the toothpaste lid off the toothpaste.
Anyway, by the time we picked up the kids this morning, I was ready to enjoy them again. So the whole "night off" thing comes highly recommended by me!

Well you have a goal for next time.
Toothpaste cap...
Sounds great! When we were in Va cristy and Nathaniel took the kids and went and did some shopping and out to dinner and it was so nice! It is amazing how having some time to yourselves can recharge you for being a mom! I think it makes me a better one when I get a little break! Your place looks nice, you are already so moved in! I agree that I hate moving! After we moved into our house I really do not want to move anytime soon!
ahhh...thanks for the post in my honor! :) sorry I didn't come to it until today though (I have you in my bloglines, but since your blog is private I don't get the updates and I have to remember to come over here, which my brain fails to remind me to do).
anyway....how wonderful that you got a night 'off'! It sounds absolutely wonderful, and I'm glad you had the chance to have one! Ryan and I are planning a get away for this summer. Not sure where, but at this point it doesn't quite matter, as long as it is 'away'! :) May you have many more 'off' nights in the future!!!
