Fun? What's that?!

You know, it's pretty sad...I'm stuck being mom to everyone so much that I've forgotten how to really have fun. Now that I'm back in touch with all my old friends it's kind of boggling to me to see pictures of them at clubs and things knowing that they're moms. It's not just that they are going out once in a while (I'm not that uptight) but they seriously go clubbing every single weekend. Um, where are their kids?! The other thing they all do very frequently is hire a limo to drive them through wine country for a tasting trip of a bunch of wineries. Ok yeah, this sounds nice and all and a ton of people older than us like doing it but again, they go WAY too often so it makes it seem to be another way of going to get drunk just in a more adult form. Then there's all the ones that go on Vegas vacations every few months.

I know all this must make me sounds like some sort of spinster but is this all really necessary? It kind of makes me wonder how their kids are going to turn out. They must feel neglected at some point knowing that every weekend their moms are looking forward to going out and not spending some fun time with them. Did I mention that not many of them can even keep a relationship going? This all makes me kind of glad that I decided to be a mom first. I still find ways to relax and have fun but not as recklessly as I did when I was younger. Seems like things really haven't changed for any of these people, so maybe I don't miss them as much as I thought I did.
