This Mommy's head is in too much of a fog to offer
any kind of comment. I can barely rope in my own kids right now!
Sometimes.
When a man is alone in his room...
he wears stretchy pants.
It's for fun.

No problem Laura
I'm feeling a lot better about the situation since Katie also said I did the best I could under the circumstances.
Are you taking the kids to the Beepbash?

Heck No!
I'm not taking the kids with me. They're the reason I need to get away in the first place! I need a break from being a Mommy. Grandma will be watching them and she has all kinds of fun and games planned for the kids.

Taking kids would be like taking wife to stag party
Not from personal experience, but from posted comments about previous BeepBash
One of these times I will be able to attend.

Kinda.
I brought mine last year, and they had a good time. Granted, my ability to do things on the spur of the moment was affected, but it was still fun.

But you didn't stay with them the whole time
The party would have been very different if you had to.

Er, right...
In which case, it would have been more like taking a wife to a stag party, but I didn't, so it wasn't, which was pretty much my point.

And my point was that...
your experience notwithstanding, jbrabeck is right about what it would be like for bionerd to show up by herself with kids in tow.

I don't think he was just talking about responsibility...

I didn't think so
I just wanted to know because you sounded like you really could use a break. So I'm glad you're going to get one.
I'm still trying to clean up from the reunion (unpack boxes, put stuff back in place, etc.), but when I get done I get my well deserved break too!
