Girls day out

I am lucky enough to have a husband who doesn't mind me going out with my girlfriends once or twice a month. He stays home with the kids and does "everything" I would do. I think it is so funny though that when I walk in the door I get screams and cries. Happy screams and cries like "Why did you leave me? Don't do that again!" Don't get me wrong, they like their dad, but I honestly think they can't live without me. Dad does things, let's just say different than me and I think they don't like it. I often hear Hannah telling him "No mommy does it like this!" It cracks me up inside because when I get home and see the look on his face it is priceless! He knows I do a lot around here, but I think he always appreciates me a little more when I get home. He knows that the whining and screaming and all the other glory that comes with being a mom can get to you by the end of the day. And it cracks me up that he is ready to hit the hay and looks so tired and exhausted after just a few short hours! (I'm sure many of you mom's can relate!) I am truly grateful that I have him and he knows that I need time for myself so I can stay sane. He works so hard for us often doesn't get the time to himself like he insists I have. And I am so blessed to have two little girls who literally melt to see my face, as I do theirs. But I am also happy that I have best friends who I get to hang out and have so much fun with while completely be myself.

Yep, I know exactly what you mean!
Glad you got out. Even better that you have a great hubby who is there to give you that time so willingly.

So funny and true. If dads stayed at home full time they would totally lose their minds!
