Ach! So many children, so little wine!
And the oreo cookies and milk are out because if they see me indulging, they'll turn into little beggars and they didn't eat all their dinner. Not to mention that it's an hour before bedtime and I really don't need them all sugared up, especially if I'm not all liquored up. lol just kidding. :-) Seriously, though, one glass of wine is my limit. Just enough to take the edge off every once in awhile. Believe it or not, I usually don't even finish a whole glass. Well, not since we moved off Post. ON Post...I had my "home girls" near by to drive the kids to the ER if Momma was drunk. ha ha That never happened but that's what I would TELL myself when I was stressed and wanted a glass or 5.
Then there's my favorite indulgence that I haven't been able to enjoy in a coon's age: a hot, fragrant bubble bath (I'm thinking Warm Vanilla Sugar)....complete with only candles for lighting.....soft music....a glass of wine....my hair pinned up....a good book.....a deadbolt on the door (lol) ..... oh man, I'm enjoying just the thought of it......
And then....the children scream.....and burst my bubble....right over top of my head....with a loud bang....time to finish the school art project.....bathe the little rascals.....read a 100 bedtime stories...give up my laptop to Wonder Teen whose newly fixed laptop just crashed moments before he was to start typing a paper for school....and oh merciful God....hopefully, I will collapse into my own bed soon (actually, I wouldn't mind collapsing in SOMEONE ELSE'S bed, but that's a whole 'nother fantasy that's not coming true any time soon. Plus, this is a family-friendly blog. lol) ...... And then, tomorrow, I'm privileged to get up and do it all over again but with a couple dentist appointments thrown into the mix....as if life isn't 'interesting' enough...... and did I mention that Wonder Tot decided to jump straight ahead to terrible twos, complete with lovely tantrums?
Back to reality. *sigh*
