No More Martini's

I usually know my limits. I really do. But on Saturday night...I forgot. Happens to the best of us doesn't it?

I had a great time though and isn't that what is important?

I had a new babysitter watch the boys.

Why is it so hard to get good help? (and I do realize that I sound ridiculous but I'm serious).

This babysitter is in college so she's an awesome age (like I assume that she can handle the responsibility of 3 wild and crazy boys and I should have no worries. She can drive a car and drove herself to my house and home (WOOHOO). She isn't old enough to drink so she's not going out after I get home (I have had a "curfew" for another babysitter that wanted to go out after I did so I had to be home at a certain time cause the bar was calling).

Now, I do have to say that I came home and everyone was alive and well. So mission accomplished at that.

I also came home to the pizza still being on the table 6+ hours after she got there. I don't expect her to clean the house spotless, but seriously? I left the pizza out for you (told her that) and she couldn't throw it in the fridge? LAME

There was a water spill on the carpet. Now, to be fair my carpet is not nice at this point at ALL. I refuse to spend the money on something nicer until my kids are done chucking food on the floor as a sign of "I'm done". BUT...seriously? You couldn't pick the cup up and throw a paper towel down?

*sigh*

So now I have the choices in babysitters. A college age girl who doesn't seem to get it. Or a high school age girl who's mom refuses to let us drive her home and comes to get her...this should be a bonus, but I feel like I have to be home on time so her mom doesn't get upset.

Now High School girl? She cleans my house!

Good help is hard to find!

Partying Bitch

I have randomly had some sort of social life this week!

We have t-ball 2 nights a week (that counts right?).

We had a funeral (not a joking matter - but we got to see hubs cousins who I love).

Had a girlfriend over today for coffee and bitching!

Get.to.go.out.to.dinner.tomorrow.night. NO KIDS. Many drinks will be involved.

This is what my life has come to. I am so excited I could cry. I'm going out tomorrow. We have a new babysitter who can drive and doesn't have a curfew. Life is good.

I have been looking at the menu for weeks. I have told people at my restaurant that we are coming for drinks after we eat dinner (at a different restaurant). I'm excited.

We are going with 2 couples. Both men work with hubs. 1 couple is a dear dear set of friends of ours. LOVE. Other couple is a guy and a girl who are dating.

Here's the best part. Guy tells hubs and friend that they aren't going to last. He's breaking up with her for many reasons but one reason being that she will text pictures of her dog saying that the dog misses him.

WHY WHY WHY did he tell us all of this BEFORE we went to dinner with them? I am not shy, drinks will be involved...I will probably help them break up right there.

*sigh* I'll update you on this one cause I'm dying to see how it turns out!
