Reason #140 – I get rid of my child so I can get drunk
Reason #140 – I get rid of my child so I can get drunk
Mar 01This post will be quick and dirty.
I shipped C off to daycare around 8 am because he was being so clingy I was one “mama” away from turning into an axe murderess.
I had my first beer at 2pm.
I phoned Miss Lilly and asked if she would mind the boy after daycare so I could meet some friends for goodbye drinks. She accepted.
I had another beer while cooking, maybe around 5.
Miss Lilly called saying the boy was crying hysterically for me, and could I bring her some diapers/milk/reinforcements.
She phoned again to say he was happy now but she still needed diapers.
I had a beer with dinner, before grudgingly swiftly heading off to the boy’s rescue.
I got to Miss Lilly’s with the supplies. The boy had apparently started crying again. I barely got out of the car so I wouldn’t hear him cry and decide to cancel drinks in case he scented me and got worse.
I got to the bar a cool 30 minutes before the scheduled meeting time and got one or two in before the girls arrived.
I had a few with the girls.
I’m having one more beer at home as I type this next to a blissfully empty crib. Hope C’s sleeping well at Miss Lilly’s – goodness knows I’m about to sleep really well here!
It’s a slippery slope, and I’m sliding at full blast.
Cheers!
Hey, moms need breaks/sleep/deserve to have fun too! I can’t even get drunk with my kids fast asleep in their beds upstairs. It’s like my body’s way of rejecting me doing something “irresponsible.” Therefore when Nanna or Gramma offer to take the kids for a sleepover I’m aaaaall over it. ;)

Heh, your sense of humour definitely did! XD
Oh my goodness! Don’t do it when they’re old enough to give you crap for it.
Tot: I remember you left me in the hotel room alone to go to the bar downstairs. [I got a drink to go and came back up!!]
Me: You remember anything else about that night?
Tot: You didn’t wake me up when the pizza came.

I am having mild panic attacks at the thought of living without her. This won’t be easy!
