Yay Girls Weekend!

This weekend I am heading down to the lake with a group of girls to celebrate Leslie's 30th birthday. I am so excited to have the entire weekend to MYSELF. No husband, children, or dogs. Granted I love them all but will love them all more after a small break this weekend. No one needing milk, a diaper changed, or a partner to play Rockband (my husband's latest obsession). I think it is so important to have alone time to get in touch with yourself as an individual again. I encourage Erik to do the same. If a person doesn't take the time to do this it is very easy to get lost in being a wife or mother. By the time I return on Sunday I will be ready to tuck away my crazy self and happily read 3 bedtime stories and get up at 3 am with Alex. Because being a wife and mother is who I am, but it is always nice to visit the crazy ass Melissa who is going to party her tail off this weekend. Cheers!
