If the checkout lady at the supermarket smiles at you warily, and you take that as an invitation to tell her your life story, you may need a mommy’s night out.
If you find yourself shouting to Dora, “It’s the right path. The RIGHT Path! The one WITHOUT the snakes!”, you may need a mommy’s night out.
If you own makeup that expired the same year your 5 year old was born, you may need a mommy’s night out.
If anticipating Gymboree’s newest line release is the most excitement you’ve had in nearly a lifetime, you may need a mommy’s night out.
If your two year old pulls a pair of heels out from the depths of your closet and asks you, “Wha’s dat, Mommy?” because he has never seen any shoes other than flip flops grace your feet, you may need a mommy’s night out.
If you have to think for a moment to remember your husband’s first name because you’ve been calling him Daddy for so long, you may need a mommy’s night out.
If you have to think for a moment to remember your own first name, you most definitely need a mommy’s night out.
Beth, I think you deserve a night out!!
(are you going out??!)
I would love to have a night out! As long as I am home by 7:30, because I’ll be asleep by 8!
We both need a Mommy Night Out, Mama — I mean, Beth. So when are we going? And do we have to come back the same night?
Hah! If we’re going over night, I vote the beach! In Hawaii!
Great list. I esp. loved #1! I’ve found the perfect Mommy’s night out is from 4-7 p.m. Catch a quick happy hour, have a few laughs, then home for dinner, bath, and bedtime with the fam!
Jen, you mean you leave the house at 4pm, and return by 7pm the following week, right? THAT would be perfect!
Mari read this to Shari and me. You can imagine how funny that was. We then shared a lot of memories from when the three of us were the ages you are now. They miss you and sent many hugs, message, picture and a letter. We had soooo much fun.
That comment says it is from Dan, because my computer isn’t working and I am using his. It is really me.
If it took 3 tries to write a comment due to 2 children crawling all over you and accidentally pressing buttons before I could type… you probably need a moms night out.
You mean it’s not normal to tell random strangers your life story? And the other day Griffin pulled out my heels & told me they did not look like my shoes. LOL.
Ahhh! Good one! Yes, I’d say that qualifies you for a night out (especially if your husband has been out of town, and will be for a while to come!)!
I know I’m way over due…at this point, I’m excited when I can just go to the grocery store or pharmacy without 1-3 kids in toe! That’s almost as sad as my only alone time being 6:30am in the shower before the kids get up at 7am!
Getting up at 6:30 to shower alone, or shower w/ two boys fighting over who gets to stand directly under the water while being pushed completely out myself….. I think I still choose an extra half hour of sleep!
