Girl Date

Now Dear Readers don't get too excited. I am talking about a get together with your closest girl friend with (almost) no kids and no husbands. Last night Heather and I had a girl date. I brought pizza and a bottle of wine to her house. We (almost) put all the kids to bed, opened the wine and chatted about life and stuff over some pizza. It was really great! I haven't been on a date since Mr. E left (of course!), so it was nice to have a girl date with my good friend. Just setting aside a time with a friend to just relax and not talk about lactating, teething, or binkies was really refreshing. In this crazy motherhood career it is really easy to forget who you are sans children. At first I didn't care at all about who I was, I was OCD type obsessed with Evie and her well being. After a few months I eased up a bit and started rediscovering my husband and our relationship post Evie. And now with him gone I am looking to my friends and work to occupy me til he comes home. And it is good, as much as I miss Mr. E (TONS) I am enjoying growing closer to my girl friends. And I am really enjoying discovering myself through my new work ventures.

So raise a glass to rediscovering yourself in ways you forgot you could. Have a great weekend everyone =)
