fun
I got a phone call Thrusday in the late afternoon from my girl Bree asking if she and the kids could come up and spend the night since we were heading to the city due to the fact I had to pay for my kid busting out her rear tahoe windshield on Wensday. I said sure. I didn't realize that she had an extra kid for the weekend already but that is okay. Having 5 kids in the house instead of 4 isn't that big of a difference, especially when the extra kid is 13 vs 10, 9, 8, and 4!
I knew something was wrong just by the tone of her voice so I had no problem with them all coming up. I hadn't cooked dinner yet and since we weren't going anywhere not that big of a deal. It would give me someone to visit with since the storms were still going through the area. They get here and we set the 13 year old neice of hers up on the comp and tell the other kids not to be fighting cuase neither one of us were in the mood for it and they listened. While I was cooking sgettie and garlic bread for everyone, Bree started picking up my cluttered house. Then the guys called (this is the firend her hubby works with my hubby). I talked to Randy and then the kids talked to Daddy. Then Randy went and got her hubby and he called and talked to his wife and kids. About 9, the kids were settling down and the only real thing left of the storm was the wind. We set the kids up with various snacks and we got busy relaxing.
We played dice for our first game while we were bitching to high heaven about our hubby's, kids, and parents. That is when I found out her Mom was being even worse then my Dad was all this week. Which was her problem and why she wanted out of hte house even though we weren't doing anything. It took us about an hour and half to play three games of dice. Sipping on ice tea. At 10:30 or so, the kids were still beebopping around the house an dwe didn't care they were still up and we decieded to have a couple of margaritas. While we started sipping on those, we moved to Yahtez. And we started relaxing a bit since we got our bitch session over with. We moved from two heavy booze laden margaritas to a 40 oz flavored Malt Beer that she brought. I dont' remember what it was but it was good. That gave us both a big glass each of it. By the time we played 6 games of Yahtez, my girl was on a Mike's Hard Lemonaid I had in the fridge and I had a small glass of Killigans Red Beer. I got up and put one of my cheaper bottles of wine in the fridge just in case we wanted to drink some more.
We took a small break from playing our lil games and went outside to make sure all my shit outside was near the house because the winds picked up and it was trying to storm AGAIN. Around 1, we started playing Gin Rummy and moved on to Jack and Cokes:D We were gossiping all night, the kids were up with us all night and got the biggest kick out of the fact their mom's who normally are very admant that they are in bed no later then 11 during the summer were letting them stay up as late as we were up. We finally finished up our various games about 3:30 am and decieded we were done with the boozing because all we could get was a nice buzz. We weren't even gettting tipsy!:D The 4 year old and the 8 year old went down in the living room about the time we went outside. Out cold! The 13, 10, and 9 year old were having fun with one of my camaras. We got some crazy pictures that I may or may not post later. At 4 am we said well we have to get up and get the tahoe into the city tomorrow, do some various running around and we best get some sleep.
We might not have gone anywhere and it was storming out so we couldn't sit outside by a bonfire gossiping but we had fun with 5 kids in the hosue and NO MEN! We had a nice dinner, we both destressed with venting about our various situations with our parents and hubby's. We stayed up lating drinking and playing various games and neither one of us was really hung over after 4 and half hours of sleep!
Her sister called begging for money at 8:30 yesterday morning. That is about the only time I hear from her sister is when she either needs a ride to the city or she fucked up her small paycheck and she needs some fast cash to pay a bill or gets somethign shut off. I flatly out told her nope can't do it. My girl just shook her head about her sister because let's just say she has been burned by her own sister. But is starting to understand why her sister almost came to blows with their mom after the week she had with hubby and her mom!
Yesterday we had fun running around fixing the windshield and other small things and today my two kids and I are heading to an area town to watch my girl's boy (the 10 year old) play in a ball tourny. Since Randy is working today to make some extra money and we are forgoing TKD because I don't feel like being in the city again it works otu nicely that we can come home and work on the yard.
See Ol Country Married Women can get some fun in even with the kids. It may only be going to one another's houses to save some money. It may only be playing various board, card, and dice games. But we had fun drinking, staying up late, and being goofy with the kids in the middle of the last storms for this week!
