Bubba slept at her day care family’s house last night so that I could go out to dinner with my girlfriends. That was our third night apart, and I think I slept better than I did the first two nights. But I missed our morning cuddles terribly today. So did the furry loves!
I had an absolutely fabulous dinner catching up with three lovely friends who I used to work with. They’re the kind of friends you pick up with right where you left off no matter how long it has been since we last caught up. We all used to work together and were talking last night about how no other work place has ever been the same – we just had that magical mixture of awesome workmates who became instant friends and stayed that way.
En route to dinner, I dipped my little toe in the dating pool for the first time since Bubba was born. A glass of wine with a man is a good place to start I think, although I can’t help but wonder how many more first dates this girl has to go on and it got me wondering how many I’ve been on in my life?
It made me think of this scene from Sex & the City where Charlotte has the same thought … my hair hurts too (and I am feeling a little dusty this morning – nothing to do with the ‘few’ glasses of Pinot I had at dinner with the girls)!
Is it home time yet? I miss my girl.
*this is not a photo of mumma & bubba (yet) but it would be nice one day soon-ish!
Good start! Can’t go wrong with a toe in the water.
Sounds like a fun evening…a bit of toe-dipping is good for you! Maybe the whole foot is next.
Maybe
Good for you for getting out with the friends and enjoying the company of a new possible interest. Bubba will be fine if Mumma is fine. Remember that she wants you to find your happiness with her and without her. She watches what you do and will learn how to enjoy herself, as she sees you enjoying your life too.
I am pleased to hear that you had such a lovely time with your girlfriends and went on a date! x
