Now that the holidays are over and the house is relatively organized ( as much as it can be when your kids receive an insane amount of toys) I can finally it down, have a glass of wine and relax...JUST KIDDING , except for the wine part ,I'm serious about that .
Its the weekend after New Years eve and I find myself frantically shopping for a birthday party I forgot my son was invited to. Kindergarten and he has Birthday parties already!! as if we didn't have enough of those ! As it happens we have 2 birthdays now tomorrow , one in the am for my best friends twins, and another at 1 for Rydins kindergarten buddy.
Is it true to say that after a certain age our all nighters turn into early mornings ?Our parties with glam hair , Smokey eyes , heels , shots and bad dancing turn into Birthday parties for someone's kid! With ,yoga pants , runners ,balloons ,piñatas, and if your feeling good some concealer and mascara?
I remember even before I had my own kids the switch beginning to happen ! about every other weekend it was someone bailing on a night out due to a kid related reason. Then it happened to me..KIDS...And I finally understood . THEY WERE LYING!!! I bet 9/10 times there was no real incident , they were just tired or simply didn't have the energy to get all glammed up and go out . A mini version of themselves had already drained every bit of energy they had in them that day and quite frankly sleep is worth more then pretty much anything when your a new parent ..even sex !
So now instead of spending my money on new fake eyelashes and heels , I buy ninja turtle sling shots for my sons friend. I giggled as I chose this gift as this particular boy has a little sister so I know he will be sling shooting this Leonardo Ninja Turtle at her a million times as it screams KOWA BUNGA and the little girl screams MOMMY!!!! Maybe i'll be nice and bring a bottle of wine with the present ?
Ah Well we SAHM's got to get our kicks in wherever we can !!! KOWA BUNGA every one
