Keeping Up With The Girls…….No Way
Yesterday, I was on a 10 hour outing with my 21 year old daughter and her Navy partner. My daughter is getting married in a few weeks, and the chaos has begun. I never knew shopping could be so exhausting, however fatique set in on the third hour, and it was downhill after that. I felt like ET when he was sadly pointing and saying, ” Go home….home.”
Yes, Coffee!
These girls were on a mission, we went to Publix, Target, Michaels, the Mall and God only knows how many stores we went to in there! I did my best to keep up, but by 6pm the all curious question flew out of my mouth, “Where are we going now?” My daughter laughed, I guess she thought I was being funny, and said, “To see my future in-laws.” I immediately felt a sinking headache coming on. I felt all of 51 and fast approaching 81! I had walked till my feet didn’t want to move, my arse had been squished in her Mitsubishi so much it was even tired….lol…. I was hot, sticky, and just felt gross from the Florida heat. I hate it here and still wonder why the hell I live in this sweat box of a state. Now, I am going to meet the soon-to-be in-laws…………crap, I am sooo not prepared for this!
I survived the 10 hours away………..as did my achy thunder thighs and arse. I also had a self discovery, that the older I get the more I am OK with becoming a hermit and doing online shopping from the convenience of my bed! LOL……I also now have a huge appreciation for the elderly scooting around town! I am glad I spent this time with Alina, because I know we won’t have alot of time together prior to her wedding. However, she will be back this Saturday for her Bachelorette Party, and wants me to attend! Can you even imagine a 51 year old menopausal mother going out partying with a bunch of 21 year old girls? Oh my God, I would die……..there is no way. Bar hopping, drinking out of penis straws, bodies grinding on the dance floor, sweat and …………..ugh…….my mind can’t even go there………NOT!
