My Weekend Getaway!

I want to start this blog by praising Newel. I'm very lucky to have such a wonderful husband who loves me so much and supports me. He spent this entire weekend(May 2nd-4th) taking care of the children while a few of my friends and I went on our Girls Weekend Getaway.
It was so much fun and relaxing. What did we do? NOTHING! No diaper changing, no worrying about getting kids down for bed time or nap time. It was wonderful. We left Friday afternoon (the same Friday we had the SF trip to the park, and broken down car), stopped at Applebee's for dinner. We talked all we wanted, and then we got to our weekend condo, late...and talked/laughed/ate some more. Both nights we stayed up as late as we wanted, and slept in as late as we wanted.
We also walked on the beach, and went back into childhood, collecting sandollars.

We were a group of moms having a wonderful time getting to know each other.

During this trip I came to admire these women even more. They're wonderful mothers and great examples for me. It was a great time for reflection for me. I thought about the things I needed to improve on, and things that I'm doing right in my life. I thought a lot about how I need to improve my relationship with my children and spend more time with them...that's partially why I wrote the "Busy busy."

I think I'm doing better. I'm less focused on keeping a clean house, and more focused on enjoying my time with them.

I'm glad I went.
