Mom's Night Out!

After a hectic day, I saw an email from a friend asking if I wanted to go to Mom's Night Out - an event I had previously declined because I couldn't afford the tickets.  I picked up the phone and said Yes!!  It has been years since I have been out with a group of friends and tonight didn't disappoint!  It was amazing!  And I'm not just talking about the movie, which is also good and worth seeing.  I'm talking about the people I spent time with and the talking and laughing that we shared.  I'm so glad I got to go!!

Impromptu Picnic

We have had a long day.  It started at the doctor for FigNewTon.  Then we went to a car care clinic to get two new tires and my transmission fluid changed.  By then we were hungry so we picked up some tuna from the store and had an impromptu picnic.  This was our view.  The wind was blowing just right and felt really good after being in the hot car.   

We were recalling lines from movies about fish.  Funny things.  Finding Nemo "I'm having fish tonight!" and "Fish are friends, not food."  Lilo and Stitch.  It was refreshing.  Then we headed toward home, stopping at the pharmacy on the way.  By the time we left the pharmacy I felt a bit like Lilo in the clip, overwhelmed and overreacting.  

So Yesterday

This evening, the girls and I were playing TriOminos. I had just had to draw 24 tiles when FigNewTon played a tile that prohibited me from playing my largest tile and I acted hugely offended. She looked stricken, like she wasn't sure if she should take it back so I started saying, "Breathe, breathe, everyone breathe." Butterfly came back with, "Breathing is so yesterday" and we all started laughing so hard we could barely breathe.

So there you have it folks, breathing is so yesterday!
