Guess what? This was the first whole week I’ve been on my own with all four kids! And I survived! My mom’s been helping me the other weeks, but this week I wanted to go it by myself. It included two overnights by myself too, when my hubby was out of town. It feels great to have it under my belt.
To celebrate and spend some quality time together tonight after a long week, we thought we’d have an in home date night tonight. I helped Jake get the kids down for bed and then headed out to pick up the food.
I got to the restaurant to realize I still had my house slippers on. Couple them with my husband’s big fleece jacket and I looked like a real winner. Oh well, at least I got out of the house BY MYSELF!
Funny how making a run to the restaurant is like winning the lottery these days!
I hope you had a great Friday! I’ll see you back here tomorrow for day 3 of Real Life Mom Moments!
XOXO,
Amber

[…] Oct 3: House Slippers In Public […]
Amber,
I just wanted to say thanyou for your stunning words about raising your little Boy that is some little Princess out theres HANDPICKED PRINCE it truely is seeing the bigger picture of raising our sons!!!! and how our husbands were once a Little Boy I just love it……it brings everything back into perspective that we Princesses have been given such treasure on this earth to cherish our husbands and children.
Bless you abundantly Princess.
those slippers look SO cozy. i think i need to find myself a pair.
Super mom! Isn’t it funny how a trip to around the corner can seem like a vacation when you are with your kids 24/7? I always joke about how I don’t mind getting my yearly gyno exam because it provides a nice quiet relief and I can read a celebrity magazine while waiting for the doctor.
