Monthly Drinking Session

Last year was a great year for developing new friendships. I have met a lot of wonderful new friends from Micayla's prep class. We have now formed a group of 10 couples who get together each month for drinks. We all bring our own drinks and each couple provides a plate of nibblies. There is always way too much to go around. Us mum's see each other almost every school day and have become good friends, so it's a great chance for the husbands to get to know each other too.

Just before Christmas we visited Emma's house for Christmas drinks and for the kids to play and have fun looking at her house all decorated with Christmas lights. On Saturday night they all came to our house. It was raining so the kids were confined to indoors. The house looked like a tornado had hit it, but what can you do when they can't play outside. Even though it was raining it was quite warm.

The adults sat outside where we had the music set up and we were having lots to drink. Everyone was enjoying the music, some of it took us back to our younger years. We were all having so much fun, letting our hair down and we have decided that we need to have a girls night out, except it's going to be an allnighter. Maybe even get someone to drive a minibus for us and go on a pub crawl. Something none of us have done in years. Then we were talking about a girls weekend away and of course the guys spoke up and said if we were going away then so were they the very next weekend. It's great to see everyone, husbands and all getting along so well. We got to bed around 2.00am with a couple of sick and sorry bodies the next day. Me included! All I can say is I'm glad Adrian decided he was too tired to be bothered going on a bike ride, because I couldn't pick myself up off the couch until about 4.00pm on Sunday. Gotta remember not to mix my drinks. I blame Sherrell for making cowboys, he he he, it had nothing to do with a bottle of wine, some vodka and then some bicardi.
