Frowny face evening

in March 2014 Moms
Kinda bummed tonight. All my friends are at a pretty epic concert. I'm at home alone while hubby is at class. I'm fine skipping the happy hours, passing on late night dinners, things like that. But, I really miss hanging with my girlfriends. Even if I could have gone, I would have spent most of the night feeling guilty...and had to stay sober because a hangover is not an option. This is really the first time I've felt bummy about staying home with the baby versus going out. What events have you had to miss and felt bummed about lately?

    That's what we've been doing for years. Hanging out at each other's homes. I hate spending money on going out. But we haven't really done it since Isla was born. I should.

    I'm just sad that today's my birthday, and I have the worst headache. Cake made it worse.

    None. Major events that are meant to be kid-less get scheduled for the weekend so I have a babysitter and I can attend guilt free.

    Frankly, I enjoy hanging out at home with friends, a bottle of wine, and Cards Against Humanity more than going out.

    None really. What I miss right now is some alone time with DH. Like a day and night without the kids or work sounds amazing.

    We missed a Kings of Leon concert and The Avett Brothers :( but I really miss just getting to relax in peace without a nagging in the back of my head that there's something else I should always be doing.

    Since lo won't take a bottle, it's very likely I won't be able to go to my friend's bachelorette party in a few weeks. I am a bridesmaid in her wedding. One of my very favorite bands, from Sweden, is also coming to town an hour or so away for the first time, second yr in this country, and going is out of the question. Other than very few special events I don't miss going out too much.

    Absolutly NOTHING. I'm 27, I've been partying like a rock star since I was 17. I got all of that out of my system before I got married and had kids. The thought of loud obnoxious drunk people make my anxiety go through the roof ! I'm totally ok spending evenings on the couch with my H and LO. A late night is anything after 9 pm.

    I have to miss alot of after hours work events. I usually have the night shift with baby so i try not to ask DH to take over too much. I partied up hard right till I found out I was pregnant. Now we go visit friends or they come to us, but I don't enjoy going out as much because of the early mornings and hangovers.

    I also miss hanging out with girlfriends. I kind of lucked out as many if my friends had babies around the same time so we have similar lives/schedules but I do miss my single friends too so I hear you on that front. Like pp have said invite them over to your place. We are throwing a party this weekend because we miss our friends and it's way easier for them to come to us rather than us go there.

    I really miss dancing with the girls though at the club or at Zumba. Although I start Zumba again this week!

    I also miss the spontaneity. DH and I used to go on random trips a lot during the summer -- see a museum, eat at a restaurant, go to a festival. It isn't that we still can't do those things, but it just takes so much more planning now. Both of us are bad at planning stuff in advance so we've done a lot less. Heck, even our bigger trips (Europe, etc.) were planned at the last minute.

    I also think both of us are so tired by the end of the week we have a lot less energy to do that stuff than we once did.

    I just keep telling myself as LO gets a little older and we don't need to lug around bottles and plan around 2-3 naps a day, it will get easier. (DH already knows that once LO gets down to one nap a day and is off bottles, we're planning a Disney trip :P I used to WORK there but haven't been there in 8 years since DH isn't a huge fan.)

    We played CAH at my baby shower. My friends are awesome :)

    I'm skipping a social event for work this Saturday because it's scheduled for J's bedtime. MH could handle it alone but part of our routine is a nursing session. He'll take a bottle but I don't know if that will suffice or if it will derail bedtime altogether.
