Adult time!

So I was at a friends house for her birthday party and she had other moms there except one lady who was not a mom. So I am such an observer that night we all just chatted away it was to fun.The lady who did not have kids was a little uncomfortable because we all talked about our kids and our labor for like thirty minutes. So I tried to change the subject so we could included her but to no avail. You should have see these women it was like we hadn't got out an a while but we still talked about our kids a lot.Poor lady I hope she had fun that night. I got home and thought about my night and pondered did I talk too much? I spend so much time with my kids that at times when I don't have them I forget how to hang out with adults. I had such a good time being a grown up and being just Roxy that I made jokes had fun conversing about politics and life that I forgot how good it feels to have time with grown ups and to be there with out my kids!!Don't get me wrong I love my kids but when you spend all your time with them it's refreshing to get away. Anyways I hope I did not talk too much that wonderful night. And I hope that the lady still want to some day have kids because we gave her details she did not need to hear about!!!! LOL LOL!

hahah! I know exactly what you are talking about. I have some friends were we ban kid talk. I love it, it is really hard to remember to do, but one of us will gong the other when they forget and start talking about potty training or other such stuff. Kids are awesome, and wonderful...but they are not who I am, they are who they are, and I need an identity as well. Since there is hardly any time I get to be without them I become a crazy about adult time.

I bet the girl was fine tough!!!

I know what you mean girl! It's so WEIRD to go out with "the ladies" and try to remember to NOT talk about your kids! Glad you had fun though.

Man, that takes me back to my nannying days... I remember sitting at a restaurant with my friends, trying so hard to think of something to say that would interest them, and all I could think about was the various diaper episodes of the day. And I was just thinking to myself, how did I get to the point where I don't remember life outside of diapers? :) Too bad I didn't have facebook back then! :)
