Or we leave dinner and bed time to the husbands and head out for an hour or so. I also work for myself so sometimes I meet my SAHM friends for lunch or a movie during the day while the kids are in school. I have a better social life now than when I was a new lawyer just starting off with no kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-61315502054272496722012-05-22T21:35:18.103-04:002012-05-22T21:35:18.103-04:00In March of 2010 my wife and I for the first time ...In March of 2010 my wife and I for the first time in SEVEN years decided to go away without our 3 children. We were so excited we had planned it for months. We lined up my mom to come and stay with the kids, we were all set. We talked about how great it was to get away on the way down to the Plaza Hotel and the first thing we did after we checked in is, well you can use your imagination. The first day and night were great but wouldn't you know it by the second day we felt so guilty about leaving the kids behind. All we could think about is how much fun the kids would have had on the trip. I guess we are the weird ones.Daddy Goobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325247914110014839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-19455358517389152622012-05-22T17:20:27.441-04:002012-05-22T17:20:27.441-04:00I'm a working mom (lawyer, sigh...) with a 15 ...I'm a working mom (lawyer, sigh...) with a 15 month old daughter. I met a great group of moms (all working) when I first had my daughter and once a month we make plans to go "out out" for dinner and drinks, just us. It's a sanity saver and you should totally try to do it more often!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-6836813288719747112012-05-22T17:01:15.978-04:002012-05-22T17:01:15.978-04:00Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you...Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you for 5 minutes! I have twin boys that are almost a year old and my husband and I have been out to dinner 3 (count em, three) times since their birth. We often sit there after our meal, realizing that we wolfed our food like adolescent boys and it's only been an hour and a half since we left home. I really never anticipated kids having such an impact on your social life, but they do. Sounds like you had a fabulous weekend! I'm hoping to let my hair down one of these nights!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-62300930348864632762012-05-22T17:00:50.373-04:002012-05-22T17:00:50.373-04:00And tonight!

Is that even remotely possible at all? <br /><br />Yet even without kids at this point, I still get so excited to go "out out" and stay up past midnight.Lisamarie https://www.blogger.com/profile/10625420457754403806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-84381688797161944642012-05-22T14:35:00.552-04:002012-05-22T14:35:00.552-04:00Oh friend (can I say we're friends if you don&...Oh friend (can I say we're friends if you don't me and I anonymously follow your blog? Well that's beside the point), I hear you. I went out out with a college friend and two other moms, and somehow that three hour outing full of drinks and complaining about things energized me the entire next day and left me feeling more patient with my kids and my husband. I need to go out out more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
