the pollyanna chronicals: mojitos, dancing, and love make the world a better place
like many people who are still employed, i face the challenges of more work and less help in the office these days. on the one hand, it's great because the days go by faster; the flip side of that is my task list grows faster than i really can handle it. this all added up to a particularly grueling week this week. but friday was good. really good.
i enjoy checking off tasks at work and knowing they're done and done well. i got to close out a few tasks and make real progress on a few others on friday.
after work it was time to dress up and go out with a girlfriend for mojitos and dancing - as far as we can figure, it's been over six months since we last got to do this. we've always claimed it's good for us, but i forgot how good it is! after a mojitos and some of my favorite middle eastern food in cambridge (zuzu's! go. order mojitos and the vegetarian zuzu platter ... YUM!) we were ready for rueda.
a lot of new faces at rueda ... and no intermediate versus advanced group! we got thrown right into an advanced circle. thankfully rueda appears to be similar to bicycles - you never forget :) it came back pretty quickly and i think i finally mastered montana. maybe. we'll see if i remember next time i get there :)
then ... off to the harp to see split decision play. how has it been two years since they were last up here??? as much fun as always! we danced until our feet hurt then headed home.
on the way home, i called my sweetie who was still at work so i got dropped off there and got to ride home with my love. can't ask for a much better night than that! :)

At least you and your friends remember that Mommy time without children is just as important as Scrabble or any time with children. Some of my friends have forgotten there was a life without children once upon a time. I'm sorry - you know I'm not against kids but I'm also very much for maintaining self.
Hope you aren't mad!
definitely not mad! i think it's very true! lots of women have kids and forget that it's ok for them to have a life too. it works for some. it makes some kids spoiled brats. and some mom's would be happier if they took the time 'off' from being a mom. it's a balance between that old saying 'if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy' and making sure you're kids are healthy and happy. one of the examples you should be setting for your kids is how to be a happy, fulfilled grown up and, for me, part of that is having a life that is not 100% kids 24-7.
