In March Martin went to Sweden for
his annual family ski holiday for a week.
And even with help from my mom two nights, I quickly came to appreciate
that being a single mom is no joke. In the seven days I was fully in charge, Oskar
came down with a fever, a rash on his arm, unidentifiable scratches on his legs
and slept in bed with me for two nights.
But I survived and so did Oskar and I had three weekend getaways on the
books to treat myself (and take a break from all of the craziness my life has
been recently.)
The first weekend away was to Sonoma
for wine tasting and fancy dinners out. It
was spent with my San Francisco / Colorado girls, a group of six strong women
who definitely know how to spoil themselves.
I had to bring my A Game to this weekend and tried my best to look
stylish, well rested and carefree.
A few weekends later, I was off
to Calistoga for a one night spa momcation with my mom friends of North
Beach. We left San Francisco early
Sunday morning and kicked off the trip with Philz coffee to enjoy on the drive
up. The 24 hour trip was a chance for us
to enjoy the time away for the kids by doing things unavailable to us in normal
life: facials and massages, reading
books by the pool, a relaxing glass of champagne while we took our time getting
ready, fancy drinks by the creek downtown, beers at a dive bar and a late
night dinner at the Thai joint in town.
We ended the night with all four women in pajamas in one of our king
beds watching TV and drinking wine.
I wrapped up my tour of “me” with
a long weekend in NYC with my Zurich Girls: Kim, Petra and Anna. It was the perfect combination of the two
previous weekends: fancy dinners, shopping like we had no budget, a lively
piano bar and plenty of time to catch up on life and family.
Not to miss out, I do have one
final weekend planned with the SLO girls in June to meet Baby Kelsey! But in the meantime, I am happy to be home
with no other plans but to spend the time with Oskar and Martin.
