Some Things Never Change

As mentioned in previous entries one of my favorite things to do is go away with my girls. We do nothing, but party our brains out and laugh CONSTANTLY!!!
A couple weeks ago I celebrated my sisters bachelorette party in Chicago and it ROCKED!!!

As usual this crowd did it up. The liquor was flowing and the high was strong. The amount of room service was outrageous and the noise complaints added up. A hummer limo and best friends. What could be better? ABSOLUTLY NOTHING!!!

As I looked around over the weekend its funny how things have changed. half of us are married and have kids. We all have jobs of some sort and partying hard two nights in a row is definitely something that most of us had not done in a while. And that even goes for this party mama!

BUT WE DID IT!! And nothing really has changed us. We still laid in bed all day laughing and acting like 2 year olds. We still managed to order more room service that we could afford and we were still our obnoxious selves. I loved every minute of it.

I wish and hope that every girl has friends like me who no matter what make time for weekends of fun. And while half of us went home to our husbands and children we always look forward to the next time. And might I add that after having no sleep, being hungover as hell, and feeling like I could throw up everywhere this mama jumped on an early morning flight to get back to her screaming babies and husband. Leaving just enough time to shower off the smell of liquor, clean the house, mop the floors, fold laundry, double check the diaper bags, and return back to the airport that night to fly 14 hours overseas WITH the kids. I thought there was no way I could do it, but I did and it was worth every drink!

Until Next Time,

Must Be the Money

Money, it’s like hot and cold. It brings out the best and the worst. It makes you happy and sad. But hey lets all be honest here it sure makes everything a lot better and easier.

Being a mom of two a new home owner and not to mention a little high maintenance myself money can a lot of the time be an issue. It doesn’t matter if you have it or not. It’s how you do and do not spend it.

After sitting down with hubby and looking over my credit card all is could say is WOW!!! Neimans, bloomies, Saks, target, and about a million orders of sushi and cabs. I was shocked!!! But of course reassured hubby that most of those were gifts (sure)!

Spending is like being high as hell. You take home those new shoes, wear them to dinner, and enjoy them all over town, but a month later when you get that bill your stomach turns. Just as it is when coming down from your drug of choice and you want to throw up.

Yes, I love nice things, but what this mom loves more is having a good time. Give me some cash and I would rather spend it on memories with and WITHOUT the kids. Cabs, drinks, dinners, and friends are what I spend my money on. Get some cocktails in me and I become the next millionaire.

So how do fix this dirty habit? Not completely sure, but I am working on it.

Until Next Time,
Party Mom
