Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Do you long for your pre-mommy days? The time when you were footloose and fancy free--the late nights out with the girls and no early AM wake up calls? I certainly do! I mourn for the the loss of my freedom and accountability only to myself, the times when I did whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted to and had no one to count on me to play or make breakfast. Now don't get me wrong, I love my life and how connected and filled up my life is with a wonderful hubby and a great kid, but sometimes a girl just wants a little fun.

Well, earlier this week I had the opportunity to have a little unrestricted girl time--a real ladies night out--all dressed in black, out in a real city at happy hour time, signature cocktail in hand, and I must say it was a blast. All the girls looked smokin' hot (who would know that many of us were mom's in our 40's), the venue was spectacular with giant views of the city and then the real fun happened later in the evening when all of us broads torn up the dance floor. It was wonderful to see these beautiful women let their hair down and party like we did in our college days. We danced, we bumped, freaked and just let go--it was awesome! We were playful, free and inspired. And then the fun ensued with a night cap at the hotel bar and we even got hit on! And let's not forget the slumber party in the hotel room staying up until 3AM, giggling, sharing and reacapping the night. What a treat it was to sleep in until almost 9AM the next morning!

It has been a long time since I had a night like this and I highly recommend it. It allows you to feel free, sexy, and youthful and takes you out of the normal routine of mommy life. It reminds you of the fun you had in your youth, that you've still got it goin' on girlfriend, and that your life is in a different phase now and you have much to be grateful for. It helped me get in touch with a more dormant side of myself, let it out for a while and perhaps to remind me that my playful (hot mama) side is there whenever I need it.
