Hope everyones enjoying there weekend.
Last night i did something that I havnt done since I was around 18, leave the house on a friday night!!
Shock horror, we had an engagement party, one of gareths work friends, and I was dreading it. Partys and going out is so not my thing, I'd much rather be in bed by 9pm. There's the whole what to wear issue, what to buy, what time to go what time to leave, its all too difficult.
Anyway as a said in a previous post I had brought a pressie online, but it bloody never turned up, so we had to go empty handed, 1st problem of the night.
We got dressed and made sure harry was ok, and then left, my mom had him for us, but he was going to bed just after we left anyway.
We got there and it was all friendly, and everyone was excited to see hubby as they hadn't seen him in a while him being off with his broken foot, the other girls were all in dresses and heels, I went in a blouse and leggings and flats! (I always manage to pick the wrong outfit) There were a lot of inside private jokes, that I had no idea what they were on about. I come to realise hubby is very much the joker of the pack, and they all love him for it.
The disco was really loud so when ever anyone tried to speak to me, I just nodded and smiled, as I haven't a clue what they were saying.
the dreaded time come where everyones up dancing (including hubby on crutches), I was left with a table full of men, because I hadn't had enough to drink to get me dancing (I was driving) and I looked like a heffalump next to the other girls, and also my leggings were so tight that I could bearly move anyway.
All night I just wanted to go home to harry, and I told hubby, but he was enjoying the freedom too much. It was half 11 and I said that we had to leave, which didn't go down well, I ended up walking out not saying bye to anyone, which I appoligise to anyone if you ever see this, I stepped outside and burst into tears, I just wanted to go home, I felt out of place and wanted my little boy. Hubbys work friend came out and thanked me for coming and said he understood that I was missing harry, followed by hubby who looked very annoyed at me, I got in the car still crying, 15mins later hubby joined me and said I had ruined the night and embarresed him by leaving so soon. We argued all the way home and then when we got home, harry was fast asleep. Hubby decided to throw up all over the place (even tho he argued he hadn't drank that much, and I new he had)
I am just so glad I swapped all that for a beautiful baby, give me nappy bags over clutch bags, bottles of milk over bottles of vodka any day!
Is it just me who hates going out these days? I mean I'm 21, all m prtying (underage may add at 16 through to 18) I no most 21yr olds love the whole partying thing, but I can't stand it.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend
Love Lucy x
I know how you feel. We started our family young. I was 19 when I had my first baby and by the age of 21 I had two kids. Before having the kids I was a bit of a party animal but when my boys were tiny I really didnt want to be out partying etc, I just wanted to be home with them. However when I got to my late 20's early 30's I started going out again and really loved it. I went out for a few yrs until I got bored with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm in my 40's now and again I dont feel the need to go out (must be getting old, lol).
I'm sure there are loads of young Mums that feel exactly the same as you do x
thank you, so glad im not alone with this feeling. I feel like a failed 21yr old, like i should be having fun but id much rather have cuddles with my boy at home x
DeleteAhh this could have been me and my other half. That always happens with us! I want to leave and he doesn't, we argue, I cry and then he's sick and I give it 'ha, I was right'! I'm 24 hun and I love a night out occassionally, OCCASSIONALLY. As in I haven't had one since August. Other than that I would much rather be at home with a dvd! xx
ReplyDeletehehe so glad its not just us then, its hard when all his friends dont have children, hes trying to keep up with them and do what they do and all i think is, 'wonder what harrys doing' 'when can we leave' id much rather be at home, im always the one to cry, im just rubbish with holding my emotions il just cry so everyone knows lol x
DeleteI'm the same and I don't even have the baby excuse! I used to love going out partying and dancing, and still do from time to time but so much prefer nights in with my Mr the majority of the time!
ReplyDeleteHe isn't into the whole club thing so by the time all my friends have coupled off I'm left there on my own or playing third wheel! Not exactly fun! xxx
aww i just hate going out, i think its the whole effort thing, id much rather put on my pjs and eat a huge bar of chocolate lol x hubbys the opposite, he would much rather be out with the lads pratting around, but i dont mind him going out with his mates, as long as i dont have to go lol x
DeleteBig hugs Lucy.
ReplyDeleteI'm nearly 35 but even in my younger days & no kids (i sound like an OAP now lol) i was more like you, never a 'party animal going out sort'.
Actually reading your blog im amazed at how alike i think we are in our personalities.
And for the record from your interesting facts post i too have had/still got horses and also considered Stanley too but my hubby said no to it.
Anyways you've inspired me & ive started a blog on reborning, and i might be brave enough to start one on the crazy randomness that is my life as well (and the monster-in-laws and their drama too! lol)
Give that wee man of yours a hug from me, and sorry if im now coming across as some weird internet stalker, im not honest lol xx
awww wow, made me so happy to see this post from you :) thank you so much for commenting, we have alot it commen it seems, its great that the internets brought us together really :) i hope your good, aww i wish i still had my beautiful horses, one day i will again have one, its just they cost a small fortune dont they :( x whooo go you with your blog, it looks fab!! im now following and i shall re do my reborn post and tag you in it :) x x
DeleteA great post with out doubt. The information shared is of top quality which has to get appreciated at all levels. Well done keep up the good work.
ReplyDeletethank you!! that really means alot :) x
DeleteI'm the same Lucy, I'm not really bothered about nights out although my other half loves them, he's making me go on one this Saturday night because his bloody mates cancelled last time, I know these guys they're great guys but I know they'll cancel again they always do and he'll just get moody about him, I'm annoyed anyway because it's Fathers Day the next day and he's not even bothered that he won't see Jared most of the time as he'll have a "hangover" and won't want to be travelling to Liverpool to pick him up too early. I'm considering cancelling and going to stay in my Mum's too! I'd choose a cuppa, some chocolate and a book over alcohol any night! xxx
ReplyDeletemen ay! who would have them, mines the same, loves going out, o just cant deal with it, i hate being around drunked people, i hate dancing and making a prat of myself, all of which he loves, we have a deal now, he goes out with his friends once a month. but when he does, he has to go and stop at his nans house that night so he doesnt wake me and harry and we dont have to deal with drunk sickness lol x hes happy with that deal, me too that way i get the bed to myself, and get to watch what i want to on the tv :) x cuppa and chocolate anytime for me too!! x
