I had a charming visit with three girlfriends today. Lena, Alicia, and Raissa, along with the hords of children they brought with them. Four adults, six children. I keep threatening to bring my dogs, "See, I suffer too!" But they don't believe me. After three hours of entertaining chaos, I told them I was going to drive home (in a quiet car listening to my own personal choice of music), light some candles (in child-unfriendly locations), drink some wine (since I'm not breastfeeding, suckers), eat dinner of my choosing (and without a bib, since I'm a big girl), and watch DVDs and read novels until I decided to go to bed. Then I laughed at them.
But I know what they were thinking: laugh it up cowgirl. Your days of adult conversation, privacy on the toilet, and non-leaking nipples will someday come to an end.
