Mama’s Juice

Sloane Tanen feels me.

Wow.  My toddler called me out. I was having a glass of wine while reading him his bedtime story.  Taking advantage of a page-turn, I took a sip.  He looked at me, smiled & said, “Drink Mama’s juice!”  Mama’s Juice??  Hilarious.

We don’t have much chance to get out these days.  Between the kids and work, days are pretty long.  By the time they’re both in bed, our idea of a party usually involves dvr & pizza.  It’s funny how disappointed we are when Saturday Night Live is a repeat.  That’s where the glass of wine comes in.  It makes it feel like it’s the weekend.  Like I’m still a grown up, not just a mom.

It’s been a long day.  Fun but exhausting.  And I really enjoyed that glass of “Mama’s Juice.”
