Whoot! Before I start on my much needed mom's night out talk, I'll first walk you through my week. Aside from the umpteen number of projects I've put on my ALREADY busy life, Bryce has been a nightmare. The poor kid just won't stop crying and nothing you do can help him. I'll offer to hold him, get him a snack, go play outside, take a car ride, EVERYTHING but nada. He just cries and cries. So I have put it off for long enough and we are going to see an ENT specialist asap!! We both need it. Him for relief and me for sanity. So I have everything else, Bryce not feeling well, and daddy coming home later then usual because he's been so slammed at work - this mama needed a break!
And the first stop was restore the core!! I know what you're thinking - how on earth can that be a break? Oooh but it is. The kids are at school, Eva goes to the nursery, and I have "me" time for an entire hour!!! Granted, its tough but at the end I feel so rejuvenated and ready to tackle the world! Today's class was by far the hardest as she had us doing everything from dragging ourselves across the room on paper plates to handstands. It was nuts! But so fun!!
It's amazing what you're capable of if you just set your mind to it. So after this, Eva and I ran some errands and came home for a quick bite, then shower, then it was off to get the kiddos from school. Once I picked them up and saw their moods, I decided it was best to not go home and let them stress me out before my night out so instead, Target. That was mistake one. Mistake two was deciding to trust a 4 year old and 2 year old outside of the shopping cart after a long day at school with no naps. Insert complete chaos. Finally, we made it to the checkout and Skylar asked if we could eat at the cafeteria so I said yes. Surprisingly they stayed in their seats and ate most of their food. I consider that a mild victory. The score was still mama 1, Skylar and Bryce 100 but I'll take whatever I can get.
This was another night that daddy came home later then normal and I was SO ready for 7:30 to come around so I could sprint out of there! I think Eva could sense something was up and was basically refusing to go to bed but she finally dozed off and I quickly kissed the man, snuggled the firstborn and ran!! Bryce was already asleep by this point so no kisses for him. :( I started on my way with my windows down, sunroof opened, and music blaring - in my minivan!!! "I'm sexy and I know it..." I definitely needed this night with my girls. We talked, laughed, cried, and celebrated. I couldn't go one day without them - seriously. THE best!
