Last night Brian and I were "sent off" to Atlantic City for the night by my parents. I guess they could see that Bry and I could use some reconnecting and sleep so they got us a room in Atlantic City and kept the girls. We took off at 3 in the afternoon and checked into our hotel. I hated to leave the girls but I knew between my parents, the boys and Genna they were in good hands. We hit the outlet stores and I got a couple shirts. We ate dinner and then headed to the casino. I played slots and won about $15. Bry played slots and lost about $10 but ended up winning about $40 at the blackjack tables so we managed to come out ahead. After our hour of gambling we found a lounge that had the Patriots vs. NY game and the Penn State bowl game on side-by-side so we got a drink and watched for a quarter. I almost remembered what it was like to be young and cool. I have to say I felt completely out of place though. I just feel so much older and different now. I am the same person just a "mommed" version of myself... if that makes any sense. Every where I looked were young people all dressed up with makeup and shoes and jewelry. It just made me feel more like a Mom than ever before. On a positive note it did inspire me to try to make more of an effort to dress like my old self instead of a slob. :>)
It was great to be just us for a while but we were both anxious to get back to the girls.
