Well, the title "recovery" is probably phrasing it a bit too strongly, but two days with a 15-month-old was exhausting! The reunion was great -- all of your tips helped so much -- but the scheduling definitely had to be geared around the baby. We ate dinner at 5pm! But thank goodness because I was ready for bed at 10pm after playing with him all day. When we were all college roommates, the evening would have been just getting started.
All of our deep talks happened during down times -- when we could just hang around one of our apartments after breakfast. Then the grown ups could talk with the baby ran around (within reach).
I seriously do not know how moms have the energy to do this. Two days and I'm barely functioning, and I wasn't even responsible for him.
Luckily, one of my friend's brought Mommy's Time Out wine. I could use a glass of aunty's time out right now.

It sounds like you had a great visit with your friends AND the baby!
I am loving the Mommy's Time Out wine! That is hilarious! That is my idea of a time out!! LOL!
You just crack me up! I am glad you had a great visit... but it's true, to be around children is like living in an alternate, magical (exhausting) Universe...
How wonderful to have such great girlfriends!!
that is true, I feel very lucky!
I am at home recovering after a week of my own kids' spring break..
ah the peace!
Glad you had a good time!
