The sweet taste of freedom.

Ahhhhh, I escaped. This morning Husband drove the kids to school & Bitsy and I hitched along. I needed to drop off the teacher presents and didn't want the kids to have to tote all that in. On the way home I noticed Beffie & Ray-Ray's cars at their house. Bitsy wanted to go right then. I figured the girls were probably sleeping & told her we had to wait.

She made it until 9 am when we finally had to text Beffie to find out if she was awake. Bitsy and I went over around 9:30 and hung out most of the morning. The girls were getting ready to go out to lunch & invited us to tag along. A Starry Night, Miss K (a cousin) and her little boy were going too. We all headed to a Mexican restaurant in a near by town for Chicken on the Beach. All I can say is YUMMY!

After lunch, A Starry Night brought Bitsy & me home and hung out with us until the FarmHands got home from school. Then we all headed back to Uncle E's to visit with Ray-Ray, J, and Aunt C for a while.

We are now home and Mama is much happier. The FarmHands are wild. BabyGirl is bossy. #1 Son is whiny. B.B. is ready to fight everyone...and I'm still happy. Lunch with grown up girls after 7 full days stuck in the house with the FarmHands was a life saver.

Oh, and BabyGirl has discovered Doctor Who. My daughter & the BBC. What's next?

Well, I'm excited for you....even if you didn't drink a margarita and the restaurant didn't make you take your clothes off. ;) (Uncle Greenteeth just loves that song.)

we so need to get Babygirl and my niece set up as penpals. They have so much in common.
Glad you got out, I live for McDonalds Fridays some weeks with the mom's group I'm part of for the very same reason. A lot can be said for hanging out with some grown ups occasionally.
