Tonight is THE NIGHT. We’ve waited SOOO long to be together but something has always stood in our way. Just us and no one else. We haven’t been together just us in years…..YEARS! Tonight has been very carefully planned for months, weeks and days. We’ve covered everything that could go wrong. We don’t want to cancel tonight. We just want to be together. WE NEED TO BE TOGETHER! WE MISS BEING WITH EACH OTHER, JUST US, WE NEVER GET THAT ANYMORE! For a couple of sweet hours I will forget that I am married and that I have kids. I know I will feel guilty for this. Will my kids feel anything different when they get home today from school? Will they wonder where mommy is when 5:30 rolls around and I don’t come home? Will they miss me?? Will my husband remember to feed them? Who will put them to sleep? Will they cry when it’s very late and I’m still not home…will they honestly feel anything? The Truth….Tonight I don’t care (ok semi-don’t care). We just really need to see each other, its been too long!!! I sit now at work all jittery and excited like a little school girl. I’ve already started counting down the hours, minutes and seconds that we are finally together. My stomach is in knots…what if something goes wrong and we have to cancel?? Ohhpleasedon'tletanythinggowrong my heart will break. The restaurant has been picked…I’ve looked at the menu 20 times. I haven’t look at a menu in years! I did my hair and will apply fresh makeup so that I look just perfect tonight. This is all so exciting my hands are shaking just thinking about tonight. And why shouldn’t they be….TONIGHT AFTER YEARS OF BEING PULLED APART BY OUR KIDS AND HUSBANDS WE ARE FINALLY HAVING A GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!! There will be eating, drinking, laughing, trash talking. The words husband, kids and job will not be allowed. Tonight we will eat whatever we want, when we want and no one will interrupt us. We will not pick up anyone's fork, spoon, spilled juice, thrown food. Tonight we will not feed anyone, we will not beg anyone to eat. Tonight is ALL about just US!! Me and my wonderful friends!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Preach sister. *sways back and forth....Amen. When we go out, we go to this fancy place that has an attached "shed" for larger parties. Oh if those shed walls could talk. Have FUN. and F.U.N.!
ReplyDeleteThanks you, we had an AWESOME time! We get these opportunities so rarely we really make the most of it. I got home after midnight...yikes!!
DeleteYayyyy! Good for you. I had one planned a couple weeks ago... then, the Storm of the Century hit and we cancelled. Still haven't rescheduled.
ReplyDeleteDon't even get me started on broken plans. It took us months....MONTHS to finally do this...something always happens.
DeleteHope you get yours soon!
I'm still pissed about that
DeleteLove this post - I so wish for a night out. Although, I think in preparation for a night out, I need a night in ALONE first. I have to recharge the battery before I can go run it all down again!
ReplyDeleteLOL...that's so true. I had a blast when I went out but the next day I felt exhausted all day. It wouldn't have been good to have Saturday off to myself just to relax but I'll take being tired once in a while to have a night out with my girls!!
