hangover

this morning i woke up with a hangover - and honestly, while i felt like death warmed over, the first thought on my mind was i really cant remember the last time i woke up feeling this way. then the cooing on the baby monitor quickly escalated to a raucous roar and i couldnt help but groan about getting out of bed. so i shuffled out of bed and started the routine, clean diaper, new outfit, into the highchair, check...clean diaper, new outfit, into the highchair, check... make breakfast for three hungry boys, check...smile to myself about the sweetness of these boys as well as the night i had last night, check, check! plan trip to drivethru for the requisite bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and tub of sweet iced tea required to function in this hungover state, check!

my best friend from high school recently moved back to the area and last night we had girls night out. the martinis at lemongrass went down a little too smoothly - boy were they good! but the conversation was even better. it has been so nice to just pick up where we left off 17 (ack!!) years ago like we havent missed a beat. of course we have kept in touch all along, and visited when we could (hard when she is in a new state every couple of years) - but there is nothing like sharing laughs over a drink with a great gal pal. and this time we didnt even need fake IDs!
