Some moms may think, "my perfect birthday would be a day surrounded by my family... hanging out with my kids". And I thought that at first, but quickly realized, I do that nearly every day, ha. So, I decided I would like one night to myself (in a hotel, obvi). OF COURSE I FELT GUILTY. Mom guilt is a B. Which is exactly why I waited until the day before to book it and ended up bringing Sophia along, lol. At least she sleeps through the night. Sort of. And a special shout out to my awesome friend Nathalie for taking my call at 7pm the day before my birthday and getting me all set up at the Hyatt. Mrs Director, you're awesome!
It ended up being PERFECT; A night with my girl, giggling, watching movies (she had headphones and I watched an adult movie, obviously..no kids movies aloud on MY birthday), eating cake, and snuggling in a hotel! Tim gladly (hopefully) went on baby duty around 6 last night, and Sophia and I jetted before I got too sad leaving Gabriel. Once I curled up in the king size bed, I wasn't so sad anymore. I WAS ABOUT TO SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT! Let me add that I did get the day to myself thanks to the sitter, picking out my new Microsoft Surface (thank you Tim!) and slipping in a movie and cinnamon roll in the hotel, before I picked Sophia up... let's be real.
Thank you, Timothy Rice, for a wonderful birthday! Now I shall pack up and head back to the real world, which is darn cute and fun! Sophia has already said she misses Gabriel. And I'm about to die without him, but it was a much needed night with my girl. I'm so thankful I was able to do it with our busy schedules. #forever21
