I love having my mom’s night out.  I need a mom’s night out.  One of the best things that I have done since becoming a SAHM was joining a mom’s group.  I love my group.  The women are fun and warm and open and easy to be with.  Tonight we got together and played Bunco.  It of course is not about the dice game, but about drinking and eating and socializing away from our children.  Of course we talk about our children, but we also talk about lots of other things–music, clothes, sex, husbands, family, in-laws, etc.  This mom’s night out couldn’t have come at a more perfect time.  I have been home a month now with Peepers and really really needed to get out…

I am always amazed at how good it feels to get out with other women and socialize and not have anyone screaming for me.  I love my kids as all of us do, but it is nice to live a few hours as though you are childless.  But it sure is nice to wake up to those cute smiles in the morning.
