Time out for mom Thursday

It is Thursday again! Confession time! Yep that is right! Time for us momma's to spill our guts about how we so selfishly took 1 whole hour during the last week all for ourselves! I know! I know! 1 whole hour is really pushing it in a 168 hour week; but you know how it is as a mom. You can not even get alone time on the toilet! The babes are invading private poo space all the time! I guess that is only fair they see you take a poo since you clean theirs, Right?
In case you are new to my blog, here is what is going on. The awesome and fabulous, Heather, over at Theta Mom got this fabulous idea rockin and a rollin. She challenged us moms to commit to and take 1 hour during the week that is just for us. No kids. No hubbs-to-be. No mommy business. No toilet cleaning or poop wiping allowed. Just 1 hour of alone Woman time. Then on Thursday we link up with Theta Mom and share our fabulous 1 hour of leisure with each other and the world. It is so amazing to hear the stories from other moms and what they chose to do with their 1 hour of time. It is such a wonderful concept and I am very grateful to Theta Mom for getting this started! As I have stated before, to be the best mom we can be we must remember to keep ourselves sane. This 1 hour is the key to not pooping on our kids each week!

I actually was granted 2 momma hours!! AHHHHHHH! Can you believe it? Hubbs to be and Baby DIVA spent some daddy daughter time together on Saturday morning while this Pink Haired Momma headed out to spend some moola. I went to my favorite thrift store and found some awesome deals for Baby DIVA. Click HERE to read about my fabulous finds.

Then On Tuesday Night, Hubbs-to-be and Baby DIVA enjoyed an evening alone as I headed out to my Nightclub Cardio class. I love this class. The instructors are awesome. The lights are turned off so no one can see my tired old flabby momma body fat flapping like mad as I shake my bootie all over the dance floor. Seriously this has got to be my most favorite dance/exercise class ever. The incorporation of the "fun" attitude you have at a club scene (well you know back when we did the club scene like 12 years ago) and the aerobics, dance moves, stretches and strength training is just fabulous. I could not ask for a better Free mommy hour!! I feel fabulous after this workout. Beat up and abused just like every other day in the life of a mom! The only difference is I am doing it without Baby DIVA on my hip and screaming in my ear!

I had so many people comment and email me expressing a ton of interest in this class after my post last week. I was shocked at the response. So I went and talked with the instructors and I found out they have a short video of the class that I can share with you today! I also found out we can host a "momma night" of Nightclub Cardio. So if you are reading this blog and you are in the Houston, Texas area and you might be interested in participating in the "momma night" of Nightclub cardio, email me or leave me a comment with your contact info ie. you email. I will see how many people we have interested and get us signed up for a "momma night". Now sit back and Enjoy this video! It runs through about 5-6 minutes of what goes on in the class. I am telling you, it is tons of fun! Fabulous!

  4. OMG! That looks like so much fun! I have never heard of it before, but I will be investigating. Heck, if nothing else maybe I will just turn out the lights and turn up the music in my own bedroom for an hour and jiggle my fat off!
