Oh, y’all. Y’all y’all y’all. Work is KICKING MY ASS, and FRYING MY BRAIN, and I had a fun weekend with my high school girlfriends but I am so exhausted I can hardly even think straight to tell you about it. I am SO BUSY, and it seems like everything I do is coming back to either A) bite me in the ass, or B) haunt me forever and ever and NEVER LEAVE ME ALONG OMG. It’s enough to make a girl drink more wine than is advisable on a weeknight. (Or maybe that is due to the fact that the cork broke and my mother taught me to never be wasteful.) So here I am, on a Monday night, lamenting the fact that I am not a trust-fund baby. *sigh* Life, it is not fair.
Anyhoo! Since my brain function is currently minimal, I give you a quick weekend recap utilizing my good buddy The Bullet Point.
NonSoccerMom’s Weekend – Cliffs Notes Version:
- Took 1/2 day from work Friday so that I could make the 2-hour drive during Miss T’s afternoon nap.
- Got to parents’ house before they were home, holy hell they keep it hot in there during the day.
- Waited on Sher to arrive for dinner, laugh when she gets a speeding ticket while trying to hurry.
- Stay up too late considering I have to leave for Houston at 6:45 a.m. Saturday.
- Leave Miss T with parents, meet up with high school girlfriends for Komen Houston Race for the Cure.
- Walk non-competitive 5K in ungodly October heat.
- Get lost in parking garage after race for upwards of 15 minutes.
- Have brunch at Barnaby’s – a perfect place for the egg salad sandwich I had been craving.
- Get pedicure.
- Go shoe shopping, find a pair of killer heels that I managed to resist buying.
- Shower, get dressed, head out to Gulf Greyhound Park with the girls.
- Have a surprisingly good dinner in the club section, which was reminiscent of an ’80s bowling alley.
- Resist temptation to gamble, admire all the pretty greyhounds instead.
- Get dragged to a bar with my harder-partying girlfriends.
- Drink.
- Keep one girlfriend from removing pants in public.
- Drink.
- Whine about being tired and wanting to go to bed.
- Finally get to bed around 4 a.m. while there are random French guys in my friend’s living room.
- Wake up earlier than should be allowed after going to bed at 4 a.m.
- Get a pumpkin latte from Starbucks after an angry encounter with a non-functioning gas pump.
- Meet parents and a very cheerful Miss T at Panera Bread for lunch.
- Head home.
- Make a poor decision regarding making a pit stop to feed Miss T.
- Regret it for the next 13 miles.
- Stop at McDonald’s 20 miles from home to feed a very angry baby.
- Finally make it home to AE and N, who were finishing up their “Man’s Weekend”.
- Go to bed at a REASONABLE HOUR.
The End.
P.S. My sweet husband put my pretty gold award over there on the sidebar without me even mentioning it to him. A keeper, no?
