Plans, they change
By Moriah on July 28th, 2010
At the very last minute yesterday I decided to attempt the girls’ night out that quite a few ladies at church were going to. Andy obviously was no help since he was already at work, but my babysitter was available and so I threw it together. (Meaning I ran around and got the dirty clothes up off the floor and the dishes done. I’m certain I’d be the kind of person that would clean before the maid came over.) Oh, and I threw a dress and earrings on.
It’s a little bit not my story to tell, but I got a text from her saying she’d been in a wreck and would come when she could. I texted her back asking her if she was okay and saying not to worry about coming. It was getting late, anyway, and the restaurant was at least 20 minutes away. In the end, she still came over but I stayed and we hung out with the kids and ate ice cream. She needed a distraction and my house is clearly a perfect place to find one.
(If you know her, she really is fine. It was a fender bender that took the fender straight off her car. Drew declared it “totally ugly” which made for a good laugh. I told her she should look for a new bumper on eBay, and she said maybe even a pink one.)
And never fear, I have another night out set for tonight, planned ahead this time. I’m just meeting two friends for dinner, but it’s been two months since we went out last and so IT’S ABOUT TIME. Andy will be home with the kids, which means there will be all manner of forts constructed on the bunk beds. (Also their favorite place to read bedtime stories.)
Now if the laundry would just fold itself, I’d be all set.

like the new hair. i’m always tempted this time of year to go for a bob. but the last time i cut it off (about 3 yrs ago) i only liked it for about 2 days. then the growing it out was miserable.
I’m going out tonight with my three bff’s. Can. Hardly. Wait.
Enjoy. I hope your sitter is really okay!
My, my, lots happened between our last text and bedtime last night. Enjoy tonight!!!
Can’t wait for tonight ;o) I find on days that I know I’m going out I’m super productive around the house….sort of like I trick myself that the going out is a reward. I FINALLY finished sorting the upstairs storage this afternoon!!! Now off to play a game of memory.
Moriah, I love your blog! I love reading about all of your stories. I can relate so well since my life is just as crazy with my 4 little ones.
When you figure out how to get the laundry to sort itself, you will be a millionaire.
Sorry your night out was a wash but glad your sitter was alright. How frightening.
