Have I mentioned that I love you? You all are going on my Christmas card and baked goodies list! How did you know that that February 29th was so important to me? You have let me down so many times in the past, but you are making up for it big time what with the Christmas at home and now this. I think this turn of events will even allow me to finally forgive you for calling the home phone instead of the husband's cell phone at 3am causing an entire house of woken up, grumpy children.
Kindly,
An FO's wife who will be living large thanks to you!
Its Official! The girls' weekend is ON! Do you know the last time I spent more than 24hours away from my children??? May27-30, 2000. That's right, EIGHT years ago!
So, Husband of The Year (HOTY - hee hee!) said I should plan myself a reward get away for surviving the concurrent Science and History Fairs and the holidays. So here is the plan:
Friday: Susan arrives
Check in to Hotel Ashton
Spend girl time acting like juvenile teenagers getting ready for the prom
Cocktails on the rooftop at Reata
Carriage picks us up and takes us to Bass Hall to see Chicago
Carriage picks us up after show and returns us to Hotel for signature dessert (trio of creme brulees!) and champagne.
Saturday: Sleep in late as we want.
Shopping, spa, massages
Tea at the Ashton
more girly giggling
fun and dancing at 8.0
Sunday: Sleep in late
brunch at the Modern
return to our normal mommy lives refreshed and happy!
I guess I should add in a plug here for Fort Worth. Heaven knows I think Texas is BIZARRE (must I, once again, mention the Texas-shaped swimming pool?), but in all honesty, Fort worth is a fabulous place to live. There is so much to do here. You can't even do it all in one weekend. You would have to devote at least a full weekend just to skim all the world class galleries and museums here. And, we have the most fabulous and vibrant downtown. Our zoo is one of the best in the country. Fort worth really is the "Cowboys and Culture" they claim it to be.
So there. I said nice things about Texas. Pick your jaw up off the floor and get back to work. I will resume making fun of Texas helmet hair and Bush loving blind conservatism tomorrow.

You had me at "cocktails on the roof".
(And also - HOTY - HAHAHA!)
Yay! I love girl's weekends!!! Have fun, you both deserve it.
I want to move to Ft. Worth.
Well, actually Austin.
But Ft. Worth is more realistic at this point.
Weekend sounds awesome.
slynn - yes, yes. Move move. We could always use some more fun girls here in Cowtown.
You're MEAN, just MEAN for planning this without me.
(kidding. have a blast, you DEFINITELY deserve it)
el-e-e, you read the part about there being more than we can do in one weekend, right? Lets plan another one!!! Spamalot is running in late June and they are doing a musical Footloose in the late summer/early fall!
sounds like a fabulous weekend! You MUST have girls' weekends more than once every eight years! Seriously.
I'm JEALOUS! That sounds super-awesome!!
I'm so jealous. Pat and I will go the weekend before you to Palm Springs and it will be the first time I've ever been away from Sam overnight. He'll be three in May...
