You Know You’re Desperate When . . . August 19, 2008

This is my life. I am desperate. Desperate to keep on top of my personal hygiene and my sanity. As I walked into the door of my parents’ house, my mom said, “Oh! I’m so glad to see you! I’m so glad you brought your babies! I have missed them!”
Yeah, okay. You can have them for the next hour while I find some mental clarity in the shower. Please, remember that Hannah is around. She is so easy, taking care of her is like watching grass grow. Dallin is what we call “high maintenance” so if he screams a lot, or the whole time, just know it’s something he does. He likes to be heard. You know, HE DOESN’T WANT YOU TO FORGET ABOUT HIM.
Mmmm . . . It’s always nice to know your kids are in good hands. It kind of makes you want to take your time while getting ready . . .
Okay, back to reality. I had a girls night out with some of my best friends from high school. A couple of the girls I hadn’t seen in almost 10 years. We all think we look the same (although we ALL know we were skinnier and younger looking 10 years ago) and picked right up where we left off all those years ago.
Anne Wilson Copeland (who now lives in Texas) Katie Trent Renslow (who lives in Colorado) Me (who lives like a gypsy with no place to call home) Katie Corrigan Broadbent (who lives in Utah) and Ashley Huish Tobler (who just moved back to Utah after living in Nevada) I would also like to point out that Ashley’s baby is four days younger than Dallin. (And no, Dallin was not invited on my mommy night out.)
We had such a fantastic time. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. It was so fun to see my friends after so many years. We ended up talking entirely too long and could have gone on all night if we didn’t have little people to get home to.
Thanks for the great night out. It was the shot in the arm I desperatly needed.

How fun! I wish could have been there.
I think you look amazing! What a fun night that was. It makes me realize I need to have a much-needed girls night, but it will probably have to wait since one of my best friends is due with her second any day!
Thank-you for letting the friend know about us wanting to adopt-let me know if you need me to send you any pictures or letters! You guys are the best!
Emily, you look amazing !!! And how I would love a girls night out some day, I am jealous.
Pam! We wish you were there! Everyone asked about you and since I just saw you . . . well, I kind of felt important since I was “in the know” about the glamorous life you lead as “Tour Guide Barbie” (you know, from Toy Story). You were missed!
