{a girl can dream}

after the horrible and crazy week I've had.

A week I've spent pretty much away from my home as

I agreed to work on a production project at the law

firm......unknowingly that it would be as big of a deal

as it is.  It's just been very hard.  Leaving to the office

the moment I drop the boys off, still trying to manage

the MD appts, arriving back at home anywhere between

8-10 pm at night.  Let's just say I've been a bucket

of tears this week between my chicken incident and the

fact that my littilest man is not coping well with me being

gone so much.  But, neither is his mommy to be honest. 

So, during my hours and hours with these medical

records, I started daydreaming of a beautiful

drive and a table for two in the corner.  

Let's throw in some breathtaking views while

we're at it.  A roaring fire on a cold, cold night. 

Good conversation, laughs and food. 

You know, like the good old days???

Well, a girl can dream or she can do something about it.

This girl chose not to succumb to the utter exhaustion she

was feeling and go ahead with that January date

sitting in that envelope.   The moment I got off work 

{early, yay!} at 5 yesterday.  I filled the tank with gas

and raced home to pack an overnight bag and we

headed out {sporting my new-do, thanks Amber!}. 

The boys were enjoying steak and lots

of movie time with their mimi and poppy. 

So, we did enjoy the beautiful drive, albeit in the dark. 

A quiet table for two since we arrived for dinner at 

8 pm and the dining room was dwindling.   We looked

out over the mountain of the lodge at all of the twinkling

lights below and above.   Felt the warmth of the beautiful

fireplaces.  And, had that good conversation,

good laughs and good food.    A night without

taking the puppies out, doing any homework {for

the boys or me}, staring brain-dead at the television,

or folding laundry.

 

It was wonderful. And, we are back at home already

as it is a busy weekend for us.  But, the boys are playing

outside, I am listening to great music, watching

the puppies play and daydreaming about our

 February Date Night.   Completely refreshed.

Operation:  Date Night, a definite success!! 

I love you honey, thanks for smiling at the mess I am! :)
