Rejuvenating Mothers Day Weekend!

Motherhood is great & has many rewards! Motherhood is also very difficult & tiring! Cassie, my wonderful Sister-in-law & I decided it was time for us to have a couple nights away to rejuvenate ourselves! We found an inexpesive hotel with great amenities- full breakfast, pool, hottub, comfortable beds, quiet, no children or husbands... Sorry guys but we all need vacations!We were pretty giddy even though we were only 15 minutes away from home, but having a hotel room to ourselves, yummy food to eat & chick flicks...Who wouldn't be excited!
After sleeping in till 9:30 we ate a free waffle & sausage breakfast, we went swimming then casually got ourselves ready for the day. We then went & helped Megan pack & organize for her move to Alaska in 3 weeks. After that hard work we plus Megan & her friend Carri, who also needed a night off went to Tuscanos. It's a fun & tasty Brazillian style restaraunt!
We also celebrated Megan's birthday-the waiter announced to the whole restaraunt how old she was then had her stand on a chair & shake a tamborine- she obviously didn't mind!The fun didn't stop there! We went to the movie "17 Again" but before we ran into some die hard "Trekies". The movie was pretty funny & had a good theme but did have a couple parts at the beginning that didn't need to be in there.
After the movie & being gone from our families for 1-1/2 days it was time to go home. Or was it?... After dropping Megan & Carri off, Cassie & I grabbed a steamed milk then went back to her house & watched one more chick flick! (Mike had to go somewhere & fix something and the kids were in bed so it was still a girls night!)
We had a great time & felt ready to be happy moms & wives again!
Thanks Cassie & Meg for partying with me & being such great friends/sisters!
