Wow...what a crazy 24hrs it has been....
Maybe I will start at the end and work back...today we had a new addition to our "moms club". Max came into the world to meet his big sis Emma and big bro Sam. Congratulations Katherine and Mark!!!!! Why do I always feel like the new ones belong to me too??? And why must Katye be the clubs designated nail cutter?? Another blog about that...
...backing up another few hours....
I got to do something very different (for me anyway) tonight. I got to eat a hot meal and have a full glass of iced tea in a restaurant with a girlfriend with no kids!!!! You see, most of my time is spent being the domestic goddess and kick ass super mama of two. Who am I kidding??!! ALL of my time is spent cooking, cleaning, playing, parenting, etc.(need I go on? seriously...) It was definetly an exception to the general rule. I think Mike agreed only because he loves the girlfriend...or she's been around much longer and afraid that she'd have the seniority......ok enough about my girl fetish....
It was very strange to be in a place and be able to finish a sentence without saying "please be nice", "please stop roaring at Mara", "please wait your turn", etc. again...you're getting the picture, right? Every time I get together with a group of friends it's always chaotic...always great fun, but also chaotic. And I find myself trying to compensate for the quiet time in a normal adult conversation because I'm simply not used to having what one would consider a normal adult conversation in the general sense of normal every day situations.(wow, that was kind of cluster-fucked..sorry) You see, I think I started worrying her when I was recounting the events of the past week in my life and got to the part about the woman who was sitting behind me in church and kept saying "Praise Jesus" over and over...I think my friend was worried about where I was headed or how loud I might get ....so....she "shushed" me... like THAT was going to shut ME up!! Quite frankly, I could have been screwing our server on our table at the restaurant and no one would have even noticed. It was Max & Erma's for pete's sake. I have gotten big giant kicks out of this all day long....shushed....YIKES!! (kel..you know I love you) I suppose I could blame my radical group of friends...I always have to fight for the floor...and sometimes have to literally shout to be heard...but who am I kidding??!!! I'm obnoxious but you all love me anyway!! Hooray for me!
I also got to go shopping for a new hand bag. I didn't buy one but I got lots of good ideas about what I'm thinking I want. You see, this is a VERY serious purchase. This is my gift to myself for getting my daughter into underpants without bloodshed. Her's not mine.... I haven't had anything but a "kid friendly" bag in almost 5 years. This is HUGE to me. It must be just right. We shopped in a store that was by no means kid proof or stroller accessible, lots of fancy lamps and art...YEA! I forgot how much I liked me! How incredibly cool am I?? O.K...ego trip over....very nice to have a break...from the chaos...and strangely nice to think about what I wanted. It was fun and I came home to my bed full of snoring people....and I slept in my son's bed ALONE...and had sweet, sweet dreams of beautiful hand bags with my initial/sign on it complete with a magnetic snap, a zipper, a strap long enough to go across the body to be hands free for kid safety, and a matching lip stick case....
