Day 7

So, while my picture of the day is not necessarily one that make you contemplate the meaning of life it is pretty special to me. Yes, it is just a bottle of Miller Lite (no comments on my choice of beverage, please) but let me tell you why this particular beer is so special to me. Its been 6 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, and approximately 7 hours since Nate was born. Therefor, it has been 6 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, and approximately 7 hours since I went out alone without my son (well there was one other time right after Nate was born that Mike and I got to go out, but I spent the whole time texting my mom so in my mind that doesn't count). Tonight changed all that thanks to a friend who asked me to go to happy hour. I could not get ready fast enough. As much as I love spending my days with my son, I was in desperate need for some adult interaction. I spent a lovely 2ish hours sitting at a restaurant drinking my beer, eating dinner and discussing the important things in life (to which should not be named in this blog). Upon returning home I walked into my husband playing PlayStation, my son in his swing still awake and no PJs on and my dog running around. Aye yigh yigh! So good thing I had that beer tonight because I walked right back into life as I know it!
