After the homework is done, dinner’s been served, the house is cleaned and you’ve laid everything out for the next day, you sink exhausted into your chair. You’ve cooked and cleaned, you’ve wiped and washed, you’ve tended and tamed all day long for days on end and you’re tired. You need a night off. It’s time to get a group of friends together and make some plans.
No one wants to host a girl’s night out if the husband or kids will be home, so hosting at home is going to require a co-operative husband or some willing grandparents. Given that fact, a movie night with popcorn, a game night or an evening crafting might be some fun ideas. You’ll have to consider what your friends are into these days.
You might consider hosting one of those candle, makeup, or jewelry parties. Then you and your friends can do a little shopping in the comfort of home. There are even parties for adult toys now. That should be good for some real laughs.
Video games are usually the guy’s domain, but you and the girls might like to take a turn too. Gather around the television set and play the games that the husband and kids never give you a chance to get close to while reveling in the fact that you are not cooking or cleaning right now. Let any and all feelings of guilt melt away and race around the track on that ATV seeing just how many points you can score for jumps and tricks.
If, on the other hand, you and your friends were looking to get out of the house without spending a lot of money you can always go out for a bite to eat. Leave the husband and kids at home with a pizza coupon and instructions to clean up after themselves and get together with your friends at your favorite restaurant. Those Japanese steakhouses that cook the food on the grill in front of you are perfect. Everyone is seated at a big table, so chatting is easy and the chefs put on quite a show. You can also watch the adds for local specials. A thirty-year anniversary at The Cheesecake Factory being celebrated with $1.50 cheesecake slices comes to mind. Yum!
The week after you get together with your friends at The Cheesecake Factory, you might want to pick a more active activity. Meet your friends at the local basketball hoops at a park or rec centerfor a lively game of basketball. That should help you feel better about last week’s indulgence. If you have a soccer park in the neighborhood, that’s another great choice. While bowling isn’t quite as active, it’s still a fun choice sure to produce a few laughs.
Getting out of the house with the girls doesn’t have to be expensive, and it’s guaranteed to help you be a better you when you get back to business. So, let the housework pile up for a night and go have a little fun.
