ok, so I'm a bad mommy but, on the eve of my two youngsters' first day of preschool I went out for dinner. 

that meant no bath, no clean new outfits, no matching slippers (btw, I have 5 different unmatched slippers!), no goodnight story or new bedtime routine.

With a third grader ill with a (low grade) temp, I went out for sushi.  I just left and when I returned at 10:00 the baby was still awake and my 8yo was still lying on the couch. You know what? we all survived.

I even managed to get them dressed and out the door despite a mild sake and vodka hangover...oh well. everyone's doing alright and tomorrow is another day! maybe I'll even get a load of wash done so they have clean pants for their second morning of preschool.

peace out. db
