Mommy Juice, Red Wine and Mommys Little Helper

It does not happen very often, but every once in a while you end up with neighbors that become really good friends. We are so lucky to have that experience. Imagine my surprise yesterday when my three kids and I barged in (not completely unannounced she had read yesterdays blog post so she was prepared, but I think she was secretly hoping we were coming to help her clean house, HA!), and she said, "we got this for you"...

I could not get over how funny it was. She actually explained that her hubby had come home one day and told her about this wine he had found, and how it would be a good gift for me. She did like any good wife would do, and told him to go back to the store and get it.

Kids and I spent an hour or so over there, and by the time we left they were cold (probably has to do with the fact that they wanted to play outside, and I let them, in the 32 degree weather). Not sure if you know what happens when kids get cold, it somehow affects their brains and their ears. They go crazy, and they stop listening. So by the time we left I had three ding dongs that complained the entire walk home. Something crazy comes over you when you are walking home in the cold with crazy kids and a bottle of red wine in your hand. I came close to prying the cork out of the bottle with my own two hands. If you know what I mean!
