Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Mom’s Night Out

June 27, 2013

About a year ago I started something I like to call Mom’s Night Out. It was a night out for me. No grocery shopping, no buying stuff for kids – just things I wanted to do and places I wanted to go. I did that last year, and when the daylight savings ended so did my nights out. The other day I was thinking, it’s time to do that again. I need the break and I need to find new things to do and possibly meet other people. It’s time.

So, what did I do?

1. Went to the library to return books and look at books. I remembered a novel, Violets of March, that I thought looked good so I took that out.

2. Went to Hastings and browsed magazines. I found the newest Allure (because even at 50 I’m still a makeup junkie), and Writer’s Digest (because I want to start writing – really writing).

3. K-Mart – looking for Organix Australian Tea Tree shampoo. So far no store in this town carries it. Meh.

4. Starbucks – Tall Double Chocolate Chip Frapp – no coffee. :-)

5. Staples – Looking for binders and found out they are already putting school supplies out!!! Squeee!

6. The Mall – I went to CJ Banks looking for a particular denim skirt and they didn’t have it. Went back to Dillards and asked about some Clinique eye shadow (did I mention that makeup junkie thing?). I ended up having a mini makeover which is something I haven’t done in a very long time. It’s a long story but let’s just say things like that do not make me comfortable. Yet, I decided to go ahead and do it. Nerve wracking, but fun.

And that’s my night out. I’m looking forward to next Wednesday but instead of going shopping, maybe I should get a notebook and go to the duck pond and do some writing. Or just be quiet and enjoy the nature around me. It’s time for that too.

I will - I started reading it this morning and already I'm sucked in with wanting to know about Aunt Bee. It was fun - this weekend will be busy so I'm glad I got it in when I did.
