Mommies NEED to Get Out

I love working from home and studying from home because I get to stay with my little man.

BUT I also love having a night off.

Now that he sleeps through the night, I am able to get so much more done. And on Friday night, I was finally able to get out of the house and drive my car without listening to toddler tunes on the radio.

I pumped up the music, danced by myself at red lights, and sang off tune like nobody's business! It was Mommy's Night Out! I even got to dust off my heels and wear them out! Ohhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhh!

Met up with Stephanie and Jess, two wonderful mommies that I am so lucky to have met. Had dinner and drinks and listened to live music. Girl talk was rushing to get out of our mouths. Oh, but it felt sooooo good. SOOOO INCREDIBLY EFFING GOOD!

Music for Mommies

All day long, from the moment Blake wakes up to the time he sleeps I sing him songs or we listen to his toddler tunes while we're around the house. I'm constantly talking to him and talking about what we're doing to (hopefully) help him communicate better as he learns to speak.

Maybe that's why my taste in music has changed? Instead of jamming out to my usual hip hop, dance, or pop music, I found that I'd rather turn the radio onto the "easy listening" station. Instrumentals. No words. Nada. Just soft music of songs my parents used to listen to.

"Nothing's Gonna Change my Love For You."

"Somewhere Out There."

"Taking a Chance on Love."

Who have I become?!

Do any other mommies happen to be going through this? I mean, I love my "old" type of music from my pre-Blake days but at the end of the day, to help me unwind I'd rather listen to music with no words with a soft tempo. I just can't stand a lot of noise anymore.
