For once in a long time, I didn't play it safe this weekend.
Despite my son having lots of sleeping issues right now, which I am 99% sure is teething (yippee!), I bit the bullet and left him and my daughter home with a sitter on Saturday evening so my husband and I could attend my friend Joanie's surprise 40th birthday party.
I almost didn't go. I was so afraid the little monster, I mean, darling would wake up and cause the poor 17 year old sitter all sorts of hell and I would be forced to return home anyway that I nearly canceled. My husband said, "he'll be fine and, if not, we can be home in 20 minutes".
So, I threw caution to the wind and reluctantly relented.
And I am so glad I did. It. was. a. Blast!
There was wine, a band, wine, food, beer, karaoke, conversation, wine, NO CHILDREN, dancing and a little wine. And I partook of it all.
And it was so good.
After the second drink, I didn't even care if the little monster, I mean, darling woke up and screamed until my boobs and I returned home. Not even a little.
After the fourth drink, I was dancing, singing and making all sorts of new friends.
After the sixth drink, I forgot I had children.
And, after the eighth drink...well, suffice it to say, I shoulda stopped at six.
The good news? My husband is still speaking to me. The puke came off the carpet and out of my hair. And my kids survived. without. me. until after midnight!
That was the best $30 in sitter money we have paid in eons.

Excellent..you deserved a night out...I can understand your anxieties about the little guy...been there....but, to go out, let your hair down...makes a new mama out of ya! Sorry about the puke...that part sucks...I am envious of the wine...you had to keep mentioning that didn't ya? LOL...I haven't had a glass of wine in three, very very long weeks....I Want Wine....LOL...hope you have recovered.....
That's great. You need time for yourself too. The kids will live through being babysat for one night. :)
Glad you had a good time.
