A Night Off...

Okay, so my wonderful hubby of three years is giving me the night off from being a Mamma. What a nice guy he is! Unfortunately, all of my friends are busy! WTF?! Oh well, I guess that's what life is like now for most of us. Gone are the days of 'spur of the moment' get togethers, after work drinks, last minute concerts... Everything must be planned in advance so as to work around spouse schedules/commitments and/or to find adequate childcare for our wee ones... How boring is that?

I guess I have a little of excitement to be getting out and going to see one of my good friends perform in her 80s cover band (I haven't seen her band perform since before I got pregnant! Oh wait - I WAS pregnant last time I saw her band play, but I just didn't know it!).

Unfortunately, I am still nursing so to drink or not to drink? That is the question of the night. And if the answer is to drink - then the next question is 'Drink what?' I have mixed feelings on the drinking and nursing issue. One drink should be ok but one drink of what? A mixed drink? A beer? A glass of wine? And really - how much will this REALLY affect my little one?

Eh! I'm not going to worry about it - as someone once told me "Being a mom is the guiltiest job you will ever have!" Isn't that the truth?

Boy, as I reread what I wrote I realize - this post took a wrong turn at Downer Avenue didn't it? Sheesh!!! Maybe I do need that drink after all!!!
