Mum's night out

Its not often I have a night out. But when I do, I can't help but notice the difference between now and before I had kids.
Its funny how every aspect of your life changes, even the parts that dont actually involve your kids. I mean, its not like I drag the girls out with me on my rare night out.
A night in town will now require weeks of planning, saving and preparing myself for socialising with non-toddlers.
My weekend will usually happen like this:

-Firstly, I will spend the whole day saying to Aiden "are you sure you don't mind?!".
I don't know if this is because I'm waiting for a reason to not go out, but I'm not really sure how I'd react if Aiden did actually turn around and say "actually yes I do mind"

-My hair will take most of the day to prepare for and I will still end up looking like beetlejuice (Aidens words), despite my best efforts to copy a YouTube video on how to create 'natural waves in seconds'. Fucking bullshit.

-I will throw the all-famous female hissy fit over my outfit. I have nothing to wear.

-I always settle on a dress, after promising myself to try something different, and then realise I forgot to shave my legs. This results in an awkward, edge of the bath shaving session,and I will 100% end up with a shaving cut.

-Anyone that knows me knows that I'm shit at predrinking. I get over excited and drink everything in sight before I've left the house. This always results in me throwing up and swaying in the corner eating toast and trying to sober up.

-I'm a mother. That never really leaves me when I go out. I worry alot about whether my friends are all together, no ones strayed off and no one is being talked into smoking crack in an alleyway (joking. I think.)
I vaguely remember sitting on the dirty dancefloor trying to work out how to tie my friends shoe laces so that she doesnt fall over, despite that fact that the alcohol will probably get to her first and knock her on her arse. It's alot like looking after toddlers I suppose. Minus the alcohol.

Let the fun commence! 😉
