This week I had a mom-cation, well I guess it was more like the mom version of spring break but with more alcohol and less boobs. Friday Shane and I were very irresponsible and played hookey from work. Technically I didn't have a shift booked and one of the co-founders from his company was getting married so everyone had the day off. Whatever though, close enough. We took our time getting dressed up, I actually shaved my legs past the knee and washed my hair with real shampoo and conditioner (the kind you let sit for five minutes not the 2-in-1 bubble gum scented kind!) I put on makeup and an outfit resembling something I might have worn pre parenthood. We got a babysitter and dropped of the kids two full hours before the ceremony. It was the quietest my car has been in three years! We didn't even turn on the radio.
Our first stop was a child-free lunch. We didn't have a lot of time and we just wanted to be quiet so we got fast food and ate in the car ALONE! It was heavenly! No toddlers screeching for fries, no spilt drinks, no crying because the toys are not the same in both kids meals... simple silence, and maybe a few death threats because my husband chews louder than a toddler whose band-aid doesn't have the right character.
After our mostly peaceful lunch we were off to the ceremony, a beautiful, intimate, catholic mass to celebrate some lovely people I barely know. We followed this up by pre-gaming and splitting appys with a few of the other co-founders from my husbands company. Finally it was party time! We flashed back to our days pre parenthood and lived it up. After a few bottles of wine, a couple rounds at the photo booth, some terrible dancing, and amazing food, we ubered home and collapsed into bed with the blissful knowledge that we could nurse our hangovers the next day in a child free environment.
