Since I was supposed to be gone on my backpacking trip all last week and I was so super bummed about not having some "me" time, Michael and Leanne kept Joey on Friday, so I could go out and enjoy myself...alone.
It was INCREDIBLE! I love my son, I really do, but it was so nice to have some time to just myself. I felt like the old Sara again. I left my house at 830 AM and didn't get home until 1130 PM!! I felt like a dog off of a leash! I tried to fit as much as I could into my day as possible!
I met my friend, Jill, for a super leisurely breakfast at our fav breakfast spot, Snow City Cafe. Then we went on a 16-mile bike ride. Yes, I said 16 miles.
Then, I met my friend, Lanny, and we hiked up Flat Top, the most popular hike in Anchorage! (Yes, I may have overdone it just a tad on the physical exertion part, but that's what I would do if I didn't have Joey with me...long or steep hikes or long bike rides! Oh, and my back did hurt just a little the next day, but not too bad. :) )
After the hike, I met my friend, Kate, for dinner and a movie!
Our other friend, Liz, met us for the movie, and then her and I went out for drinks at a real bar! It was so nice!
It was a wonderful day and I was so happy to spend some good quality time with four of my pre-baby friends, especially since we are leaving soon. I really was excited about seeing Joey the next day. I think every SAHM needs some time to herself every once in awhile to get rejuvenated!
Glad you enjoyed your "me" time! Sounds like a really fun day!
