And now it’s Wednesday already
By Moriah on October 1st, 2008
Yesterday, mid morning, I got a call from a friend’s hubby asking if I could help her celebrate her thirty-first birthday by going out to dinner with her that very night.
I told him I couldn’t promise anything, but that I would try. I called my sisters, angels that they are, and explained the situation and that it was totally up to them to decide if they wanted to help me out with the kids, yet again.
They did.
Since Tuesdays are Andy’s day off, I ran the errands on my list while the kids were napping, without having to hurry home for him to leave for work. I also just got a free $10 gift card to Ann Taylor for ten of my friends signing up to Shop It To Me (shout out to Jo-Lynne for sending it to me in the first place).
So I did a little turn around Ann Taylor. Hey, I had a good excuse. Leave me alone. (And I even found a cute something.)
I was really at the mall to pick up Madeline’s three-year-old portraits I had done of her a few weeks ago. (Never mind that it was three months past her birthday. She’s still three.)
They turned out pretty cute, so real-life friends and grandparents, be warned. Also, I’m taking Adelaide on Friday.
After I had fed the kids and wrangled them into their pajamas, my sisters came over and I got myself ready. Andy sings in the local “professional?” choir and they rehearse on Tuesday nights – which is why he wasn’t going to be home to keep the kids.
We had a really nice dinner. Nicky and her mom came, with baby Seb (wink to Nick), and then the birthday girl and two other friends.
And since I know you’re dying to know (work with me here), I wore the shirt I had found on sale at Ann Taylor that afternoon.
Shop It To Me may just be my new BFF.

I’m so jealous of you for three reasons:
1. Free babysitting (I’m assuming you don’t pay your sisters).
2. A husband who is sometimes home during the day.
3. A new top from Ann Taylor.
Lucky. :)
