My Freetime
Lately, thanks to The Man’s awesome mom, we’ve been getting some freetime together. Movies, dinners, vacations, parties, bars…we’ve done it all in the past month and I LOVE IT. We used to do that stuff a lot when we just had Hannah but throwing Livie into the mix halted our social lives greatly. We’re getting it back now slowly and I forgot how much I missed it! This past weekend we went to a local pub and fell in love with the band that was playing. You must check out The Space Rockers because they ROCKED! They were dressed up in tight spandex with capes and helmets and crazy hair but OMG they were amazing. They played ALL hip hop LIVE and danced on stage and we all just freakin loved them. SO MUCH. I want to be a groupie and follow them all around Texas. For real.
When we first walked in and I heard Ice Ice Baby I was like ok, these guys are cool. When they sang The Cupid Shuffle I fell in love. Nelly. Flo Rida. Snoop dogg. All my favorite hip hop songs coming from a group of nerdy white guys dressed in crazy outfits…pure genius. We danced our asses off all night long and took silly pictures and pretended like we were 21 all over again.
I love being a mom to my girls. They are what completes me and makes my life whole and fabulous. But every now and then I like to send them off to Nana’s and have a night out with MORE people that I love and make my life fabulous. Most people go out with a group of friends. Not us. We go out with family. The Man’s brother and sister and cousin and their significant others….This is why I always say that most my friends HAVE to be online. I have an amazing life with my family here. I have a handful of close friends I see here that I go out with or do things with outside from my family. But 90% of the time I’m with my family.
And I love it.

Firstly? You’re like SO HAWT! Secondly, I’m very glad that you & hubs have had some couple time. We, also, have zero social life. Mostly because we don’t have family here. We just tell ourselves they won’t be this little for long and we’ll get back “out there”.
Now – the band? Dude! They sound like they’d be hilariously entertaining!

The band was so bad ass. Seriously. Go to their site if you have time and listen. They have videos and samples of their songs. They’re so cool. And thank you love. I appreciate the compliment
If it wasn’t for our family here I’d probably go insane. We crave time alone after a few weeks!

That show sounds like so much fun – I’d totally be dancing myself silly. And you certainly look like you were having a blast. The beautiful thing about it is, not only are you able to have fun with your friends, but you come home and are able to better parent your girls, too!

So very true. We both get cranky and snippy with eachother if we haven’t done anything just us for a while which leaks into our lives with the girls cause we’re all pissy and just miss eachother.

Oh girl, I would’ve been SO ALL OVER THAT!! And you deserve a night like this once in a while. You are an amazing mom to two amazing girls, and you’re doing a phenomenal job. That gives you the right to have fun, dance like a maniac, and have a glass of wine if you want to. By the way, you looked SO HOT!!!!
