Hey Dolls, Happy Tuesday!
Time for the Weekend Round Up. Today is my Monday, I could not get with the program yesterday. I have been slowly getting sicker and sicker as the days have went on since last Thursday night. So, yesterday was spent laying around with Charlotte who isn’t feeling too hot either. We watched all three of her favorite movies (the only movies she likes) Tangled, Brave and Frozen. Good thing I love all of those movies or I would be pulling my hair out since those are the only movies she will watch. If you try to put on, say, Beauty and the Beast, which happens to be my favorite, she freaks out. But if I am being totally honest, Tangled and Brave are my new favorites. I remember when I was pregnant and I would ask my sister Beth if I was going to be a bad mom. She said, “umm no way! You love to nap, drink milk and lay around and watch Disney movies.” HA-HA. Somedays like yesterday …that is exactly what Charlotte and I do. Normally when she naps I use that time to get work done around the house or blog. But yesterday I just laid on the couch and window shopped on the internet and watched my Bravo shows and Kardashians.
I am not going to go too much into it, but speaking of the Kardashians…Bruce Jenner I mean. Did you watch the 20/20 special? I sure did, I wouldn’t have missed that for the world. Ok that is a little extreme, but I was dying to see it. After all the months and months of people talking and him not saying a word, he finally spoke. My friend Samantha invited Amy and I over to drink wine and watch before we went on a triple date night with our hubbies. So, while the husbands sat in the kitchen and drank beer, we sat on the couch and watched. Honestly, I was one of those people who wasn’t sure all the talk was true. The three of us sat there on the couch and were in awe of what we were watching. I have been watching the Kardashians since day one. I have watched every episode probably more than one or two times. You know E! plays them on repeat. I would have never guessed in a million years that I would hear Bruce Jenner say, he was born with the soul of a female. My heart broke… this person has been feeling this way his whole life and just now in his 60’s is coming out to the world as who he really is. Like I said, I have been a fan of this show for years, Bruce has always been my favorite. I obviously love the girls but I always thought Bruce gave the show its comedy. I am so excited for him and his new journey in life. I am also excited for the awareness that he has brought to the transgender community.
After watching the special we headed out as a group to a Country bar to get our drink and dance on. Amy’s birthday is today…HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY! So we went out to celebrate early. It is a rare occasion that all three of us and our husbands get to go out without the kids. We had the best time, selfies in the bathroom, drinking and dancing! I have to admit I may have drank wayyy to much. I ended up picking a fight with my husband on the way home because he doesn’t dance. If you know me, then you know I love to dance, even more so when I have had a drink or two. John just doesn’t like to, he never has, and probably never will. I was so mad at him for not even trying. But then the next morning I realized that I shouldn’t have been so mean. You have to take people as they are and love them for that. I have spent most of my life trying to change my father, with whom John shares many similarities. But when you take a step back and look at the total package, there isn’t much to complain about. John is the most amazing husband/father. I couldn’t have gotten luckier than with him. So, with all that being said, Saturday was spent laying around hungover on the couch. I forget that I am no spring chicken anymore and I can’t just go out and throw back vodka and redbulls like I am 21 again. P.S. this is only the 4th or 5th time I have went out since Char was born. I am not out at the bar every weekend. Us army moms don’t have baby sitters on deck like that. Needless to say, I should probably stick with beer when I go out from now on. Having a child changes you in so many ways it’s unreal. Before her, I never cared if I was hungover all day and slept the day away. Now that is why I never drink that much anymore, I want to spend the day with her and watch her learn new things.
Sunday we were out and about all day. Amy’s daughter Adalyn had her fourth birthday party at a park with a playground nearby. Char got to see her bestie Paisley and eat a cupcake. Or try to …she wasn’t much for chocolate so John ended up eating most of it. After that we went to get John’s hair cut, weird I know he has hair now. Who knew? Then to the grocery store. Ugh that place stresses me out, it is so expensive to eat healthy. I don’t want to feed my family junk so we always end up spending way too much money. Is there a way to eat healthy and not spend an arm and a leg? If you know how, let a girl know please! I swear we spend $150 or more every time we go.
So that was my weekend, spent with the people I love!
