80's Dance Party

It isn't often that I really let loose and have fun. Life is busy. Life is stressful. I am an adult, after all.

So tonight, while browsing through the Yahoo music stations, I came upon the 80's station. I don't know what made me choose it, its not something I would normally listen to. But I am so glad that I did. I heard songs that I loved and had long forgotten... but songs that transported me back to the days of slumber parties and junior high dances.

I cranked up the music and the girls and I danced in the living room. Kiera and I totally got our groove on. Caitlin was very excited and jumped and twirled around the room squealing. There's something very freeing about just dancing uninhibited. It made me feel younger and lighter. I didn't care if I looked silly or dorky. Thankfully, my kids are still too young to realize mom is dorky.

The music brought back so many memories of growing up, spending time with friends, hanging out at dances, checking out the cute boys. I watched Kiera dancing and laughing and thought about how she will build her own similar memories so very soon. I want her to have good memories when she is dancing around 30 years from now with her own kids.

So what began as an impromptu thing to pass the time on Saturday night will hopefully become a regular event at our house. I loved seeing the girls laugh and have fun with mom. And I really enjoyed feeling like a kid again. I am also hoping I am not too sore when I get up in the morning...
