Girls Weekend!!

Brian, Evie and I had an awesome weekend but the weird thing is - we weren't together! When I was a working Mom I felt that we needed to spend every weekend together as a family to make up for the time Brian and I spent at work - well, as a stay at home Mom I feel a little different. I spend every hour of every day with my beautiful daughter and enjoy most of the time but when she is crabby or won't stop whining until I pick her up - my patience wears a little thin. When I start feeling that way I walk over to my neighbor's house - yup you heard correctly - I finally made a friend!!! Don't get me wrong I have wonderful friends but I don't get to spend that much time with them and to be honest most of them still have their childhood BFFs, which I do not. So, I have been on the search for several years for a BFF, which had to have a significant other that Brian got along with - well I finally found her in my backyard:) Stacy has two beautiful children and a wonderful husband - who has a lot in common with my awesome husband. We immediately hit it off and now have Cocktail Tuesdays, I watch her children on occasion, we spent 4th of July in their backyard, we have been shopping and to several home shows together. She gives amazing Facials because she is an estecian at Renue Spa in Altamont. We have only known each other for 4 months but Stacy was nice enough to invite me to Girls weekend at Abernake Lake in the Adirondacks this pass weekend. I have never spent an entire weekend with girls, none the less, 10 other women I barely know- I was a bit nervous but I trusted Stacy to get me through the weekend. I ended up having soo much fun and realized how much I needed this time to myself - to be completely selfish.
Evie went to my Mom's for the weekend so she was spoiled rotten and loved to pieces - I had no anxiety about leaving her for two whole days. Brian bar tended at Camp Bisco (some hippy festival) from Thursday until Sunday morning- he was able to make some extra cash and enjoy some good music and great friends.
Sorry if this was all over the place but I was just so excited and needed to share!!!
