Roll by this way next time you want to get away. I’ll show you a good-old-fashioned kid-free crazy-debaucherous-adults-acting-like-they-have-no-good-sense time.

Actually, I’m way too boring for that. But let me know if you’re ever in NY and we’ll catch a movie or something.

“It was strange to have full use of both of my arms and hands.” 🙂

I’ll add “Going to the movies more” to my list of things to do when Mr.4444 is gone. Thanks!

I try to get out with some of my mom friends every few months… Unknown Papi is right – it’s important to get out by ourselves and be someone other than mommy for a few hours…
I hadn’t heard of this movie before but I will definitely be on the lookout for it!

So glad you worked up the energy to go out with your friend.

The trailer looks like it is a fun movie.

It is so nice to have a night alone or a night with friends. When my kids were young my mom used to watch them a few hours a week so I could either go out with their dad or go out with friends. I also love to read and so often would go to bed an hour early just so I could read. Or I’d let both girls climb into my bed with me but they HAD TO READ as I was doing.

I’m really happy you got out. Hopefully more movie opportunities will present themselves. It’s a great way to escape, even when you’re tired. That movie looks great BTW.

Yaaa for getting out without kids!
Stew and I got an entire day off last weekend when we went fishing!
It was a novel feeling not having to worry about kids.

When our kids were young, FH was a youth pastor and our teens GAVE us one night out a month (date night) and they provided babysitting FREE. It was THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD.

Yes, us daddies can hold down the fort on occasion. No guilt is needed for you to go out and have a good night.

I’m glad you got to go out to the movies. I think I want to see this one because I also like the cast.

I could be talked into seeing it just to watch Kristen Wiig (who has the simplest web site I’ve seen http://kristenwiig.com/
Oh I forgot to share this Fortune Cookie pic before

Ah, getting out. Sounds delightful!! It’s so true, even if daddy is home, the kids automatically come to mommy for all issues. They are wired that way on a daily basis.

I may have to check that movie out. I really don’t hit the theatre, too loud these days. But getting out of the house with some gal friends does sound quite heavenly. I am glad you went out UM!!

I’m so glad you got out and enjoyed this!
And that fortune cookie message is probably the best one to finish with “in bed” that I’ve ever seen! LOL

In reply to Vidya Sury. Now that I saw how smoothly it all went in my absence, there is no reason not to get out and enjoy some time alone or with friends.

Yes yes Continue to go out even if tired. I joined a Lenten women’s group at my church b/c it met on wednesday nights and I could get away from the fracas (and poop). My kids are older now and not as poopy. I am not too religious (ie the women’s study didn’t stick)

It sounds just like the kind of movie I need to see. A great mix. Thanks for the review and yes, sometimes, we mommies just need a break!

In reply to Jim W..

Well, my days consist of toddler pratfalls, knock knock jokes, and poop up to my elbows. I don’t mind a little emotional depth in a comedy. Plus now you’ve got me thinking of comedy in general and anything that gives me a good hearty laugh is never shallow or meaningless ’cause laughter is its own reward. Now a one-night stand probably wouldn’t stay a one-night stand if it weren’t shallow and meaningless. I’ve had one-night stands with movies that left me feeling much less entertained and satisfied than actual one night stands. Anyway, didn’t mean to write such a lengthy response. I’m just glad I got out of the house and the movie didn’t suck and when I got home there was no poop to clean up. Catch ya later.
