Tell The Truth Thursday! WOW I'm a MOM!

I had plans this Saturday...

Momma was going out on the town with the girls!

Drinks at a friends house and then out dancing! 

Yep we were going to get our dance on at some clubs downtown! 

My friends still are but I will have to settle for having a dance party here in the living room.... (something we do almost daily at our house anyway!) 

You see I am not going with them Saturday because I am a Momma!

Don't get me wrong its not because I am not able to or because as a momma I shouldn't, because if there is a good reason to go out and have a drink or two and unwind with the ladies being a momma is right up there with having a horrible boss, broken down car, dead end job or the ever popular my boyfriend left me.... 

No I am not going because I decided to spend the money allocated for my night out on the town on a Strawberry Shortcake Berry Bitty Salon.... 

Yes you read right a Berry Bitty Salon...

Because how can Strawberry Shortcake run her Cafe, or the Berry Bitty Market with out having her hair did... and after she has been driving all day in her Berry Bitty Convertible and swimming in her Berry Bitty Pool she certainly needs a touch up and after all that hard work building her Berry Bitty Club House she definitely needs a manicure!

Does Delaney need another Strawberry Shortcake play set you ask... 

Nope she already has all the above mentioned sets (which for some reason only come with Strawberry Shortcake dolls and a million little pieces like cups and flashlights...) and I'm sure she will collect more in the future... No she doesn't need another play set but the smile that lights up her face, brightens her eyes for even that one moment when you say "Yes sugar you can have that one!" the look she gives you at that moment when her life is complete because you just gave her the one thing she was missing for her Berry Bitty Town, well that moment is worth more than any night out, more than any money in the world.

So if the two children with their sleepy heads rested in the next room wasn't reason enough for me to believe that I am a Momma, writing this email to my friends earlier this evening gave me that "wow it's really true I'm a MOM" moment!

"I can't go downtown on Saturday as I have just spent my downtown money on a Strawberry Shortcake Berry Bitty Salon! But the smile on her face was worth 10 trips downtown!"

So I guess a night IN is in store for me on Saturday... 

I wonder if there is an appointment available at the Berry Bitty Salon for me and Delaney on Saturday.... 

Have you ever had that "WOW I'm a parent" moment? I'd love to hear all about it in the comments!
