I'm Bad ...

-
I must be a bad mother. I must be a bad wife. Yes, that must be it.

When I tell you my plans for Sunday night, you might agree.
You see, I love and adore my children. I love them with my whole being.
And I love and adore my husband, with every ounce of love that I've got.

But, I'm counting down
the days . . . the hours . . . the minutes . . . the seconds . . . for Sunday night.

You see, PG is out of town until the 19th.
And Sunday night, Ellie and Katie are going to sleep over at their dearest Auntie and Uncles house (praise the Lord!)

And me? Well, I have . . . a date.

Yes, I do.
A date, with this ...
and this ...
and maybe even a little of this ...

All by my lonesome.
And I can't stop thinking about it, or talking about it, or dreaming about it.
I mean . . . it's what is keeping me going this crazy busy week.

I mean, look at it again . . . doesn't it look like the perfect way to spend an evening alone?
Is it wrong that I am looking forward to a night alone?
Is it wrong that I am looking forward to the kids going for a sleep over?
I'm sorry. I guess . . .  I am Bad.

So very very bad . . . 
and that is SO GOOD!

Care to join me? 
:)

    That sounds like the best "me" time ever! Indulge yourself! I firmly believe that the moms who take a little time out of being a wife, and mother, and employee, and all the other labels that get attached to a woman & spend a little "me" time wind up to be stronger women, stronger wives, just superwomen all around. Enjoy!

    God no! I would die if I didn't get time to myself every now and then. It is NECESSARY! Enjoy yourself, Leanne. You are going to have such a lovely time. x

    I've heard bad reviews about that movie but if it's about your beloved Italy, it must be great. :-)

    Oh hunny...you are not bad at all. Every mom/wife needs time to herself sometimes. And what an excellent way you have chosen to enjoy your time. The movie is EXCELLENT! I'm so excited for you and your alone time! You will come out of it refreshed and excited. Hugs! M

    I get three hours a week... Tuesday's are my "night off". And I look forward to it EVERY WEEK. An entire evening AT HOME in my jammies has me salivating.

    Yes, we love our kiddos. We love our hubbies. What we don't do (often enough) is love ourselves! YOU GO GIRL!

    No guilt! No more "bad mother, bad wife" talk... and if you keep posting this kind of stuff, you may never really get a night to yourself again, because I'M COMING OVER! ;)

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it. ...

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies?...
