pictures from the women’s expo with my friend rachel
i just got back from a weekend trip with my girlfriends.
this was my second girls’ trip i took since we’ve been married.
the first was an overnight trip to vegas to celebrate weaning off my second child
(where you can be gone for more than 2 hours at a time, whoop whoop!)
and this time an another overnight trip.
but everytime i go on a girl’s night while my husband watches the kids,
i feel a little guilty. probably because my husband never goes and hangs out with his friends
(which i tell him all the time how he should every week, but he never does!)
and i usually go every 3 weeks or less. on average, maybe once every 3-4 weeks.
(i’m talking about going out to dinner for a few hours, not a trip, just to clarify)
but is that too much, you think?
i make sure the house is extra clean and make an extra yummy dinner before i leave,
if that helps the situation at all. 😉
but i’m grateful to have a husband who i completely trust
so once i leave the door and leave him alone with our kids,
i don’t worry an ounce while i’m gone.
because to be honest, he makes a better parent than i do
and he’d make a way better “stay at home mom” than i would.
so thanks hun, for letting me have my girls’ time. you are wonderful.
I have been craving a girls night out for ages! I haven't caught up with them in over 6 months!
I think its good that you are spending time with girlfriends, it allows you time with others and it shows you aren't completely clinging to your partner.

If you were going out 3-4 times a WEEK, then yaaa I'd probably see a problem in it. But once a month!? Not a big deal at all. I want to do something fun like dinner. It seems like my out of the house times with friends never happens. I try to run out to the grocery store by myself and that rarely happens!
Once a month?? No way! Everyone needs to recharge, esp from a 24/7 job!
I feel guilty leaving out two boys with my husband to exercise!! But I alsOdo it anyway and agree that he's a better parent! May e because he isn't home all day with them. Even though he cAnt understand what our 2 year old is saying. Even though he just sits and holds the baby when he cries.
