I see kids in the liquor store every time I go. Is that odd? I assumed it was normal, I went with Dad as a kid. Same liquor store too. I may have answered my own question.
Besides you guys. I have tequila, vodka, brandy, and a tiny bottle of Jäger and a tiny bottle of absinthe that I'm scared to open. And I think I have some Kahlua in the fridge too. Ooh, and I have some half and half. Looks like somebody is having some White Russians and watching The Big Lebowski tonight.
So long as she doesn't bring the kids to a dive while she gets hammered talking to new daddy she's fine. I see nothing wrong with bringing pre-adolescent kids in the liquor store.
Dang, abneretta...I think you drink more than I do. You make me hopeful about having kids. Maybe it isn't the end of Fun.
No, you are the perfect example! You're probably more grounded and content than most of the moms I know. Dranks for everyone! I have exactly one more week until vacay...I'm about to piss myself in excitement.
Are you going anywhere fun for vacation? I'll be off work next Wednesday because it's the girl's first day of pre-school, then I'll be off the 1st and 2nd of September to go to Tennessee for a knitting retreat (yes, a knitting retreat,) then my next actual week of vacation from work is the last week of September but I don't have any actual plans.
The oldest one has a friend spending the night. They have to travel some distance to hatch eggs or something in Pokemon Go and, instead of walking, they duct taped their phones to the top of a remote control car and rigged the controller so it runs in a circle. It's been cruising along in a circle for the past 30 minutes. I'm both appalled at their laziness and impressed by their ingenuity.
I was going to share a Heinlein quote from Time Enough for Love about working smart instead of working hard but upon looking it up it was less of a quote and more of a several pages long parable that ends with this quote, "Some people are ants by nature; they have to work, even when it’s useless. Few people have a talent for constructive laziness. So ends the Tale of the Man Who Was Too Lazy to Fail. Let’s leave him there, in his hammock under the shade trees. So far as I know, he is still there." I need to reread that book. How weird is it that I remembered which side of the page the quote I was looking for was on? Memory is weird.
Going to San Fran/Sonoma/Napa for a week. It's the last vacation for a looooong time, so it's gonna be extra nice.
No, shitty work schedule. I have loads of PTO...my managers just don't approve much of it when we make requests. Our PRNs get treated amazingly and it's a big deal for the full-time slobs to request a week off 6 months in advance.
Aaand, apparently I had just enough Kahlua for two White Russians. I haven't even started watching Lebowski yet.
Now I have started watching The Big Lebowski and annoying all my Facebook friends with quotes from the movie. It is now 30 minutes past bedtime for the small children. The oldest one is out, the youngest one is running around with a Doc McStuffin's stethoscope on. How is the two year old a night owl? Liquor store update: still no sign of husband and the liquor store closes in 25 minutes. The two year old with the stethoscope wanted to "look at your heart" and I told him I wasn't lifting my shirt and he could just put the stethoscope to my heart and he could hear it (or the battery powered sound that he'll really hear) but he meant the little heart tattoo on my hip/lower stomach. I'm not sure what to think of that.
That's becoming abundantly clear. At least I'm ready to make Bloody Marys tomorrow. That may be all I'm prepared for, but damn it, I have that going for me.
I shouldn't call you out because I'm notoriously unprepared when it come to alcohol. I'm a wine drinker and you would think that I would just buy it by the case, but no - I'd rather drive to the store and grab a bottle or three every day or two.
