Day 10 was Cinco de Mayo. My last Cinco de Mayo as a single woman. And when GradyB was talking like she wasn't going to hang with us, I couldn't believe she would miss my last Cinco de Mayo as a single. She came. LOL
We went to our favorite Mexican spot for drinks and food. But I was almost left out. Thumbelina sent an email to ToolTime about plans. I wasn't on that email. I'm finding that my girls are making plans without me more often. ToolTime said it's because I'm considered married. Yes, married women can't do all the things they did while single, but I'm not dying! The difference with me is, most nights Mr. Me gets home after happy hour time and I won't have any young kids. So there will be some nights when I can hang a little after work.
One of the main things MM's friends gripe about is the fact that their wives don't have social lives. He loves the fact that I won't look to him for all my social events. It's great that we enjoy a lot of the same things. But when I want to go to an event that's not his cup of tea, I have friends. So I've expressed to my friends that I still need them. Let's see what they do with that bit of info...
I did not get in my workout that night. I was beat. But I did get up first thing in the morning on Day 9 and hit the gym. I had my physical this morning. The doctor told me the negative effects of running on my body and gave me some recommendations that would make running even more boring for me. I'm going to try some other things first. She told me I've lost 8 lbs since my last visit in February, but I'm 13 lbs heavier than last year. I've pretty much taken a scale sabbatical...
Mr. Me left for Vegas on this day (Thursday). Because I missed working out on Wednesday, I was planning to hit the elliptical for at least 30 minutes after work and then hit the sack. Nope, ToolTime called and convinced me to go out to watch the game. That took A LOT of convincing, LOL!
Because I had the 5k on Saturday, I just got a light elliptical workout on Friday (day 8) morning. After work Friday I went searching for a bra for my wedding. I thought I secured one Wednesday but then realized it didn't have enough plunge for my dress. Didn't find anything Friday night. As a matter of fact, they told me they didn't make convertible plunge bras in my size. The search continued.
Saturday (day 7) I arose early for the race. I think I had a pretty good run. Then ToolTime and had lunch and went searching for bathing suits. After shopping I dropped my eldest step-daughter off at prom. The Teen, younger daughter and I went to the movies. After which we picked her up, I dropped them off and made it back home at 1am. Oh and by the way, I finally met Mr. Me's ex-wife. Long day with no nap. After taking Babee out, I got ready for bed.
Why did my dog start her deep barking at 2:30 am??? So I thought she REALLY had to go and took her outside. She starts playing! When I put her back in the crate she started barking again, so I moved the crate down to the garage. Then miss thang decides to run from me! As soon as I would get her downstairs she would run back in the house and up the stairs. It took 2 rounds of that before I caught a clue to shut the door when we got in garage. I was tired y'all! I finally got her in the crate and got me in the bed at 3:30am.
Because I still love my puppy, I was up this morning at 6:30 to take her out. Yes, I missed church and am watching it on the Internet. My knees hurt, I think more from running up and down the stairs after Babee than my run.
I have so much more to share but wanted to give a quick(?) update. Pastor's on, gotta go!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Your friends will be there FOREVER, through the good and the bad. If they love you, they will respect the boundaries of the relationship. There should be no need for anyone to change...at all. I have one friend that changes like the wind when she gets in a relationship and she wonders why we're not as close as we used to be. *roll my eyes*
LOL @ you chasing Babee around the house. Hilarious! And you think we're gonna make it to church on June 6th after our race AND a Girl's Night Out in DC? HA HA HA
By the way, CONGRATS on the weight loss! I'm waiting for you to rejoin me on this marathon. I'm still holding your torch. :-)
One of the biggest misconceptions many fall for is that the married do not have social lives. Yeah it does sometimes takes some planning and prior notices to do some things when you have another person directly affected by your life activities but it is not impossible.
I hope they don’t unintentionally shut you out making you feel as if married is the devil as so many try to state now. I would suggest doing exactly what you did, continue letting them know you still have a social life that does not include your husband and you are not nonexistent because you are married.
LOL at the dog barking at 2:30am. "Babee" is a great name for your dog.
