Week Thirty-One: I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

I love my friends so dearly. But when you have a kid, no matter how much you tell yourself that your friendships won't be affected, they will be. They will take a pretty hard blow. Maybe not for every mom, but certainly for many I know. And certainly for myself!

Well, I finally made some time for a 2.5 day getaway with two of my besties. And it was HARD. Let me tell you. First finding a time that worked for 3 adults to get away for a few days was tricky, but add to that finding a babysitter and my anxiety....it was a challenge. {Not to mention the weeks long "should I bring my pump? Should I not bring my pump?" debate..oy vey. I went with no pump, btw, and all was well when I returned home. Plenty of mommy milk for my snuggly little guy!}

So glad it was a challenge I managed to overcome! Woo! 

Lakeside dinner the first night there. 

We {Jenna, Kelsey, and I} spent most of Monday, all of Tuesday, and then half of Wednesday at Kelsey's uncle's cabin and it was delightful. Because we are such crazy kids ready to get wild on our vacation we played a ton of wild drinking games dominoes. That's right. Dominoes. Mexican train, to be specific. Which, to us, typically looked like a game of "awkward swastika" by the end of the game. Neither titles seem all that appropriate... Nevertheless, it was a hit. We played at the kitchen table, we played on the dock, and we played on the patio table. Wild and crazy gals that we are. ;) 

Awkward swastika?  Mexican train? They both seem politically incorrect to me...

Lewy's Lake Place custom Tervis= great for coffee in the morning, and beergaritas all day long. 

After plenty of floating in the lake and all around lounging, I left feeling refreshed. Some much needed "me time" that is oh so very, very hard for me to justify taking.
