A few simple things...

Norah Jones, a glass of wine, and a hot bubble bath...it just doesn't get any better! After a fun filled weekend I decided to take some mommy time tonight and relax! Jarrod goes back out of town this week so I figured I should take advantage of him while he's here. So I handed off the monitor and away I went! It was great!!! It's amazing the things you used to take for granted before you had children. No more leisurely shopping trips...Bo starts screaming once the buggy/stroller stops for more than 10 seconds so it's get in-get out with him, of course I think this is something his father has trained him to do so mommy isn't able to do any shopping; no more manicures and pedicures (at least for us now on one income), no more staying out past 6:00pm, no more dining in non-family friendly restaurants... you must go somewhere that if your child has a meltdown other people understand because their child was having one just 10 minutes ago, no more spur of the moment outings, and most importantly no more sleeping in! Nope...for me it's now a glass of wine, a hot bath, and no monitor! Just a few simple things!
