Court and I have been talking about spending a night out just the two of us for our birthdays next month. I couldn't even tell you the last time we went out just the two of us. But the last couple of months have been so stressful with Court's mother in the hospital and dealing with the all house stuff with Mikey leaving. (I feel at times like it is a divorce since so much of everything we have Mikey and I purchased together.) Anyways, Court decide that we needed the break sooner rather then later.
So Court made all the arrangement. He called and got grandma and grandpa to agree to take Izzy for a whole 24 hours (like that was hard). Then he got us a room at a B&B downtown called the Inn on the Hill. The inn was gorgeous and our room was wonderful. I especially loved the terry cloth robes and the HUGE jetted tub. (In fact I made Court measure to see if I can put something similar in our master bath- in my dreams) He even took me for dinner at The Roof, one my favorite places to eat. The food is so wonderful. It was an amazing day.
I get so caught up in being mom that sometimes I forget who Stephanie is. And it was nice for one day to eat a warm meal without wrestling with a toddler, soak in a tub, and sleep in past 6:30. But the more amazing thing is how that 24 hour gave me so much more energy, patience and love for my baby girl.

Buck keeps saying we need to do something like that! That sounds like such a nice time. I think last time we did that was our honeymoon! How awesome for you!
Good for you Stephanie! I am so glad that you had a great time together. I agree, it does really give you a positive mommy boost when you arrive back at home.
I love The Roof too! YUM!
I want to go do something like that! You lucky girl! hmm...nobody wants to take 3 kids off of my hands though!:) You are such a great mommy!
I am so jealous! I think that it really helps in life all together. Yeah for you!
I'm absolutely convinced that the exceptions are what save us from the difficulties of life. As they say in "Into the Woods" - "If life were only moments, even now and then a bad one, but if life were only moments, then you'd never know you had one." Life is what makes the moments special, even as the moments are what rescue us from life. Another perfect paradox.
