Heather - I want to write, but it’s been nearly impossible to find the time. Thank you for your comment. It’s motivated me to take a break this afternoon and record the good parts of my week and purge the bad ones.
We’ll start with the bad:
1. Unease at work this week. Seriously fretted over job security on Thursday.
2. House is still very untidy, unorganized, unclean, unholy.
3. My husband and I realized that suddenly a lot of bad things are happening around us.
4. See #1.
Now the good:
1. I still have a job to go to on Monday and my paranoia was probably just that.
2. I called the insurance company to see if they’ll cover replacing our carpet since we had that mercury problem.
3. Bad things aren’t happening directly to us. [Spits, knocks wood, locks family in fallout shelter.]
4. See #1
There was a fifth good thing last night, and that tips the scale to the good side, and that is…good.
Last night my sister and I went to a lovely little restaurant and enjoyed a lovely little dinner and wine tasting. The highlights were the squash soup, the salad paired with this wine, and my first taste of port. My sister is not crazy about wine, so I drank some of hers. I wish I hadn’t drank so much of her red - which I didn’t absolutely love, either - so I could have finished her port. (I thought it was this, but that’s not the label or bottle I remember. The label was much blurrier than that last night.)
Anyway, that was good good stuff. Unfortunately, I may have to wear my glasses when I’m going to be out boozing it up. Apparently I didn’t get my left contact deep enough into the well of the case and I sliced a bit of one edge off last night. Oopsie.
My husband and I are going to leave the children with their grandmother and we are going to a grown-up party tonight. Woohoo! Sex, drugs, rock ‘n roll!
Actually, we’ll be watching football, playing cards and stuffing ourselves with sloppy joes and booze.
In case I sound like a lush now, I AM! Hurray for drunk mommies! My husband and I have not decided what to drink Sunday through Thursday of this week and welcome suggestions. And donations. Please support your drunken blogger friends today.
