Do your rules go out the window when Grandma comes to town? Six days of Husband-At-A-Work-Conference plus one visiting Grandma meant six days of wild women (as rowdy as you can get with a 3-month old, I guess). Work was busy (I had jobs every day!), Baby was very busy and Mommy tried to live it up while I had access to a free babysitter. Proof:
Yup, that’s me at the Critics Choice Movie Awards afterparty last Friday night… with Adam Levine from Maroon 5 performing (hey, it was for work). I felt like a teenager again. Way too much fun as it was happening, but my antics proved to be way too much trouble (and not worth it) when I was up at 3am feeding LadyP her bottle. Mommy tried to be pre-baby fabulous and I flopped big time. Hello hangover… for about 4 days. No joke. I’m just getting over my awards-show weekend activities NOW. My own mom was happy to play “Nanny,” but I’m convinced she secretly questioned my judgement. “Is your life always like this?” she asked. Note to self (and other new mommies): Being fabulous after having a baby means enjoying half of the number of cocktails that you were able to consume before having that baby. Lesson learned.
LadyP also rocked and rolled over (both ways now). Other antics included staying out until 9pm with Grandma & Mommy at The Cheesecake Factory (looking at me like, “Am I supposed to be out this late?”) and watching Mommy’s awards screener of “Black Swan” twice (once while wearing a tutu).
Now that Dad’s home, it’s time to get back to real life with rules to keep us all in check. I just hope that LadyP doesn’t tell on me.
