me...alone?

GUESS WHAT?

I'm going out tonight! Alone!!

Can you believe it?

Sure, it's only to a MOPS meeting....but I can hardly contain my excitement!

Dont get me wrong, I love all the testosterone that fills the bodies of the boys/men in my life very much, but sometimes it makes me forget I'm a girl.

A "WOMEN!" (chuckle, chuckle)

Basically, it's hard to remember that I'm more than just a Mom.

I change diapers, feed children and clean all day.

I haven't taken care of myself as much recently....girly-wise anyway. Poor Tim.

((I'll try and step it up for ya, baby!))

Sure, I get the occasional shower and shave...but tonight I'll take time to wear:

MAKEUP (when you're home alone with 2 boys without a car, why bother?)

CLOTHES (that aren't sweats, or shouldn't end up with boogers or spit up on them!)

NICE HAIR (I've had no time to straighten my hair - so it lays limp, or goes hog wild.)

PERFUME (this will, of course, be just for fun!)

Yay!

And you know what? Since the meeting isn't until 7pm, I won't feel antsy to get back by bedtime, because I certainly won't make it in time....so, I'm off the hook. :)

Hopefully I'll get to know some other moms...and maybe I'll even hit a store on the way back!

Although, if I know myself...I'll get all hyped up about this night out, and though I love to be alone, after a few hours, I'll be like...humph...I miss my boys.

It always happens.

They're messy, stinky and LOUD...but I couldn't live without them. Even Tim. :)

And just because I can hardly contain my laughter, I HAVE to post this picture a family friend sent to Tim. This picture was taken while I was in ET and Cale was being babysat so Tim could work.

Looks like I'm not COMPLETELY alone with wanting to dress up and look "pretty."

A hahahahahahahaha!!!!

Blackmail...pure blackmail. :)
