Ladies Night IN

Tonight I am supposed to go to my friend W's house to hang with her and my other good friend J. I have been looking forward to it all week...I haven't seen W since my ladies weekend in February. But, even though I have been excited to see the ladies, I am having a tough time getting myself in gear. 

I started the morning off pretty productive. Alberto took Isla to a birthday party (Happy Birthday K!) and I stayed behind. I knew that there would be tons of moms with infants and babies n what not there, so, I decided not to subject myself to that just yet. I'm not ready for that at this point, and, that's okay. Anyway, while they were away I started sealing the tile in our master bathroom (long story short - our builder ripped our master shower and a few rows of tile out and replaced it) and cleaning our downstairs hall bathroom. I wasn't done by the time Al and Isla returned from the birthday party, but, I kept working and eventually finished both tasks. It's almost like I used all the steam I had on getting those things done, because, when I was done I didn't want to do much of anything else. I couldn't even muster up the motivation to shower...and I was funky. 

It was approaching the hour when I needed to leave to make it to W's house on time, so, I sent a text to J saying I wasn't sure that I was going to make it. I told her that I didn't know what was wrong, but, I didn't have any "get up and go". Being the amazingly understanding and supportive friend that she is, she said she understood, but, that she was bringing a plate of sushi (and she hoped that made me smile). See? This is why I LOVE her so...she knows me. She knows how much I LOVE my sushi. I'd be lying if I said that her mention of sushi didn't entice me, hehe

At some point, Alberto went to the store and bought a few frozen pizzas...and red vines, specially for me. He knows the way to my heart <3 I ate almost the whole box of them and I guess that somehow gave me what I needed to get my engines in gear because after I ate them, I prepared veggies to go with Isla's pepperoni, served her dinner, and decided I was going to take a shower. And I did. I took a shower, got myself dressed, and decided I wasn't going to flake on my friends.

Heading out the door now to what I hope is a good night.

[UPDATE - 5/18: It was a good night. There was laughter, tears, lots of drinking, food, and good company. We talked so much, I didn't get home until 4am on Sunday morning! Love those ladies]
