It's been some time since I felt completely back to my normal self, but I think after this weekend I'm there. I left Bean alone with Husband on Friday night while I went on an overnight trip with a friend to her mom's house in a town a couple of hours away. We got our hair done--and FINALLY someone got my haircut right, though I had my snooty doubts, this place being what I think of as a small Southern town. Just goes to show me, ME of all people, why stereotypes about the South and small towns are, well, stereotypes. I'm crazy about this haircut. So cute and not like I have a pair of shaggy earmuffs on at all anymore.
But anyways, this is not what got me back to my normal self entirely. This trip included not only a perfect, unplanned haircut, but also cheap antique shopping! I purchased things for the house and didn't spend a fortune! I even found 2 beautiful antique quilts and a quilt top that I plan to finish myself with fabrics from this place for just under $100. Do any of you know how unaffordable antique quilts generally are? If you care, I'll just tell you that they're usually WAY expensive. But not these.
We also had margaritas! 16-ounce margaritas, me and my friend's mom, that were yummy and extremely drinkable. Served to us by a slow-ass waiter, but who cares when the conversation is fabulous and there's no baby to chase around the restaurant and you know you can drink as many as you want because you can stay up as late as you want 'cause there's no baby who's going to wake you up at 6:30?! I can't tell you how much glee that filled me with for the whole 24 hours I was there. We all 3 stayed up late, drinking and nibbling sweets (and them smoking) on the porch til WAY past my bedtime. I learned that I am in fact NOT too old to get over hangovers quickly the next morning. All it takes is having slept 9 solid hours the night before!
So all in all, this was a fabulous weekend. I missed little Bean a tiny bit when I called home to tell her goodnight, but mostly I was just so pleased to be out on my own for a change. I recommend this sort of thing highly to all you over-taxed mamas out there if you can manage it.

I'm wiping the drool from my chin. Oh yeah. That sounded good. Really good. Maybe better than sex. I would really like to do that. I really NEED to do that.
I am happy for you about your haircut. I always feel terrible when people talk about what an awful haircut they've gotten. I seem to take the responsibility of all bad hairstylists out there on myself. Wishing I could fix it and so on. Delighted that you have finally gotten a great haircut. Do you think it will be possible to continue to go there for your cuts? I certainly think you deserve it!
I am so glad you got to get out for a girl's weekend....we all need one of those!
I shouldn't complain, since my boys go to their bio dad's every other weekend and I do get to sleep in.....but I don't usually get to get out. And I haven't found a place yet that will do my hair just like I want it. Maybe I am impossible to please?
Heh, if I lived nearby, you and I could both have more of those weekends!
I would totally kill for one of those weekends! Sounds like you had a blast! I'm so jealous!
That sounds so nice. I am so glad you got relax. I am so jealous.
Glad to hear you had a great weekend. That time to yourself make you a better person and ultimately a better mom. Did I mention I am jealous? I will have to live vicariously through you. I’m glad you were so detailed. It made it that much easier to appreciate every moment.
