As much as I love my daughter, getting some kid-free time is always helpful. My husband travels a lot for work so often I am the only parent around. Thankfully this year it has been all travel within the US so he has been around on the weekends, but it is still exhausting (especially while pregnant).
On Saturday, a good friend from college was coming into town from NYC and we made plans to go to a Cubs game. I asked CP if he wanted to go, but he doesn't really care about the Cubs so it was decided that he would have a father-daughter day with Izzy while I hung out with my friend. I couldn't drink but I had two kid-free meals and a total of 10+ hours not having to worry about whether Izzy had peed recently, not having to listen to kids music, and the ability to have more than a 5 minute conversation with my friend. Not to mention it was a great Cubs game and they won! It was definitely needed as I am rounding the corner to soon having a baby that is going to need me 24/7 along with a demanding toddler!

Glad you had some adult time with your friend! It is kind of suffocating at times with a newborn. Enjoy yourself while you can!
I hear ya!! My problem is that since I'M the one traveling for work I feel guilty leaving Sadie with Dave when I am home. Because I'm already getting that time away for work, ya know? It's not at all the same, but I need to learn to enjoy a day off here and there that doesn't have me working.
Glad you got that day with your friend!
That sounds like a lovely respite with your friend! A wonderful time away from demands before things get a whole lot more demanding. And how nice for Izzy to have a daddy-daughter day with CP!
Glad you were able to grab that time. Sometimes that's all you need to recharge.
