To say I live in mommy world is an understatement. Jeans are my uniform and tennis shoes are my footwear. Feeding others at dinner and relaxing after 8 p.m. are my standard evenings. Doesn't matter what day of the week it is. Monday through Sunday it is pretty much the same.
I would love to say that Bob and I get out on a date once a week, but a date to us is watching a movie after the kids go to bed cuddled on the couch. No need for fresh makeup or high heels.
Don't get me wrong, I do get out of the house and I do go and do things with our family, but I get to stay in my regular uniform and keep the same bedtime.
December always seems to shake things up and it is filled with event after event. Tonight, Bob and I are headed to his company work party. He has been at his new job for about a year and I have yet to meet anyone. Tonight I make my first impression. I am nervous.
Tonight, I have to get dressed in a dress, put on high heels, and carry a clutch. All things that use to feel so natural to me and now make me feel like a little girl playing dress up.
I am sure tonight will be fun. I am sure that I will find things to talk about that don't include my children. I am sure that I will be able to act the part of an adult.
And tomorrow it will be back to jeans and tennis shoes.
