We set the date months ago. It had been too long since the last get together. There are 12.5 kids between the 6 of us all under the age of 8. (.5 for the one due in October, yay!) I think a little mommy alone time with her favorite hooches was in order.
I packed up and hit the road to the Ozarks.
I find it really funny that the three of us in this picture hogged the camera last year as well. We didn't take a lot of pictures this time around which is a shame!
This is the best group shot I got. This is all we did. We laid out there on that dock all day long catching up with all the latest Jerry Springer worthy family drama, laughing, and cussing. Jeez, we cuss a lot when we are together. Bitch is an endearing term and I think we grade the love on how many times you are called one in a 24 hour period. And apparently I turn Asian and my voice goes way up when I'm (uh hum) having a good time.
It was perfect. Just what I needed. There is nothing better than a group of girls getting together that have known each other since grade school and a single moment of silence can't be found in the waking moments. Our conversations run the gamut from family, to relationships, mostly about our kids, to supporting each other by sharing our less than perfect mommy moments.
It was a good refresher. A time well spent where no one got Bat Shit Crazy, but the term was thrown around a lot. There were only tears of laughter. We educated and scared the hell out of the mommy to be and spewed out every bit of laughter we had making sny remarks at each other about every stinking thing including my dry eyes that watered constantly and my tattooed lip liner and detailed descriptions of what the hell happened to our boobs and reading scenes out of 50 Shades of Grey! Because... that's what best friends do.
It was THE perfect girl's weekend and we will be doing it again! Thanks again for the great time, ladies! You know how much I love you!
Looks like a blast!! It's SO important to take time for these little getaways - keep it up ladies!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great time! Glad we're still making time for one another!
ReplyDeleteThat sounded so wonderful. I can't remember the last time me and my friends did that. We sort of started knocking out babies and forgot to make time for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteActually, we don't trust our husbands with the kids.
True story.
Wow, what a fun time! I'm a bit jealous. I could use some girl time like that. So glad you ladies got to spend such great time together!!
ReplyDeletea blasty blast, for sure
