Girls night out

Gotta love the girl's night out.
I try to put them on the schedule as often as I can...and usually get one or two a month. I am embarrassed to admit that I look forward to these nights even more than date night with my husband.
Bonding with the girls over beverages and good food is good for the soul. My husband doesn't need the guy time like I need my girl time. Thankfully he doesn't begrudge me for it, though he does chuckle at how excited I get at the notion of getting out of my "mom gear" and dressing like a real woman.

Girls need their girlfriends.

We need support.
We need gossip between friends.
We need to commiserate with one another over happenings at the preschool, the gym, the P.T.A. meetings. work and at home. We need to feel understood.
We need attention in a way that you only get when you are dressed and out with the girls.
We need Chinese food, Mexican food, salads and sweet wine. (food my husband rarely will suggest).

And most of all.....we need a big fat dessert or two...with four or five spoons and no guilt to make the night a complete success.

My next girls night is coming up on Monday. I can hardly wait. Hope yours is on your calendar soon.
