And Happy New Year too!
Okay, so last night was a BLAST. We invited just a few friends over who all have small children like we do. We had them all bring their pj's (the kids, not the parents) and we just had the kids go to bed around nine. Even though many of the kids didn't actually go to SLEEP until after midnight, they stayed put in their respective rooms and the adults could actually have a party without kids.
It was really, really good for me. I have been really struggling lately and it was SO nice to just hang out with some friends, drink some wine and laugh and laugh and laugh. In fact we laughed so hard that one person (who shall remain nameless-- what happens at the Mangine's stays at the Mangine's) claim they peed a little. It was the first time I felt like an adult (and not just a mom) in a really, really long time. The only bummer is that my internal clock seems to be set for 6:30AM no matter what I do. It doesn't matter that we stayed up until almost 2... oh well. I will be tired today... no big deal.
Happy New Year everyone!
