I'm sitting on my couch drinking some wine, and watching NCIS while my girls are peacefully asleep. I'm drinking the wine that my cousin brought me last time she was here. Was thinking of inviting her over again for some dinner and wine, but I'm always hesitant. It's mostly because I think who would want to eat dinner with a couple of toddlers. They're messy and loud, and usually mealtimes end with a threat or negotiation. That doesn't always sound like fun. Makes me miss the pre-kid days. The days where I could invite someone over on a whim and not have to worry about how my kids will behave. We could have some supper, then open a bottle of wine with music on and just talk and not worry about the time. It was fun and it was so much easier to keep up with friends and family. Or if I didn't want to stay in, I could call someone up and see if they want to go out. But now I cant do those things anymore. Having the girls really make me appreciate how free I was. I'll be honest. I'm so totally tied down. I'm a wife, and a mother. I have responsibilities and I cant just do what I want anymore. One day I'll get better at keeping up with friends and family, I'm sure.
*DISCLAIMER* I don't, in any way, wish I didn't have the girls...or resent them..or anything like that. I wouldn't change my life in any way, shape, or form. Just thought Id put that out there.
