Therapy

So after the madness that was last week, this momma needed some serious relaxation.  So we shipped Aidan, Shannon & Marin off to Brigitte's, while Chris took Quinn to Beaver camp. 

That meant that I was able to go on a shopping get-away with five friends!


We did A LOT of shopping (yes, the bills will be painful this month!), a lot of talking, and a helluva lot of laughing.

 Seriously?!?! People actually wear these things?  (this store was Rue 21. We walked in and almost walked right back out because it was a bit... ahem..... teeny-bopper.  I tell you, we tried on some crazy clothes (I don't even think 20 year old Tara would have worn these things!) and laughed and laughed.  I think the people that worked there thought we were nuts.


 There was good food (and maybe a few good drinks as well!)

And maybe even an impromptu pillow fight?!?! (Not really, we had to do this for Chris b/c he's convinced that every time the girls get together we have pillow fights in our panties.... .ummm... not so much!)

Let me tell you this, there is no better way to re-charge and re-group then spending a weekend away with some girlfriends.  It was the best kind of therapy ever, and now I'm back and rarin' to deal with whatever this week throws me!
