It has been pretty hectic around here and I have found myself lacking the time to sit down and write a post.  The weekends seem to vanish in the blink of an eye and now that we are further into the school year, my evenings after work are dedicated to helping Kiki with her homework.

But I still found time to go on a girls night out this past weekend to Atlantic City.  Our mission was to take Kim from Situationally Single Mom out for her birthday.  For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Kim and her blog, she is “situationally single” because her husband is currently serving his second tour of duty in that fun little place called the Middle East.  He has been gone already for several months and unfortunately still has several months to go.  Kim is left behind with four kids and she works full time in a management position for a pharmaceutical company.  No time to be curled up in the fetal position waiting for her man to get home for that girl (which incidentally, is what I would be doing if my husband were in that situation!)

Friday night found myself, Kim, Jo-Lynne, and Danielle heading down to AC in some horrendous traffic.  But I guess we should have expected that since we were driving past Philly during Friday night rush hour!  We arrived, checked into our hotel, and rushed over to the Borgata because we had a meeting with Sara Bareilles at 9:00.  We were running pretty short on time but hunger called.  So we grabbed a delicious bite to eat at Wolfgang Puck’s American Grill.  Our waiter wanted nothing to do with us and by the time we left there it was 10:00.

Fortunately, it all worked out.  We found our seats at the concert just as the opening band was performing their last song.  Let me tell you, Sara Bareilles is so stinkin’ cute.  I loved her and promptly titled her my new best friend.  Although some of her songs were on the slower side which was putting my co-horts to sleep so we did sneak out as she was performing her last song and found our way to the bar.

It was about 2am when we called it a night.  That is huge for us because I can tell you from living on the same street as these girls that lights out is about 9:00.  We slept in until 9 am, got ourselves ready and headed on home.  It was a great time and I hope Kim had a great birthday get-away.  I know I did!  Although I still feel like I’m recovering from this weekend!!

Here we are.  I know we’re cute!! Jo-Lynne, I figured out the red eye thing so we don’t look as demonic!!
