As a mom, "gettin cray" is a mistake that you will deeply regret and pay for the next morning. Nothing, I mean NOTHING is worse than being hung over while a three year old runs around screaming about how he wanted Nutella on his waffle, NOT peanut butter. I've learned this lesson the hard way, can you tell??
As a mom that is seven and a half months pregnant, "gettin crayyy" isn't really an option. No vino, no shots, no cocktails, no beer. No fun... I mean, yay! I love being sober for 9 months straight with a three year old and teaching a class of 14 three to five year olds five days a week. Who am I kidding? I should be a damned super hero, or at least some kind of poster inspiration for sobriety:
"Look at this woman. She is so stressed. Her boobs hurt, there's a three year old jumping off the couch and screaming the lyrics to some stupid Netflix kids show, none of her clothes fit because of her giant belly, and she's got the snot of at least 6 kids that do not belong to her smeared on her poorly fitting shirt. She's been sober for nearly 8 months, if she can do it, YOU CAN TOO."
...But in all seriousness. I'm not a drunk. I mean, I'm going to enjoy this NYE celebration. This year my husband and I decided to keep it low key (more like, we have a kid, not friends) and just hang at home with our son, watch movies, and pig out on snack foods. Basically, we are partying 3 year old style. It would be a big fat lie if I said I'm not looking forward to it. I mean, c'mon. Who doesn't like pigs in a blanket, nachos, pizza rolls, cookies and root beer?
... apparently my son. DAMMIT!!
Ok, now that I've regained my composure and convinced the little prince that pigs in a blanket contain his three favorite foods I can end this post on a more positive note.
Cheers to the end one year and on to another. This new year, I am going to enjoy my life. This upcoming year is going to be awesome.. even if my kid won't eat anything I cook. I will be gaining another adorable son, my new business will flourish, and I will find happiness with myself. I hope you do great things too.
Suck it 2016.
