I was watching Life as we Know it the other night where the parents pass away and will their 1 year old to 2 single people who don't really like each other. and as the stress and uncertainty begin to take over their lives, the "new mom" goes to the routine dr's appt and expresses her frustration and confusion of "why me" to the dr. and writes a prescription "2 glasses of pinot noir. take as needed." the next scene is the result of dr's orders!
One of my favorite parts of my day is after i've done the rounds in the house at night. Checked on the kids one last time, double checked all the locks, let the dogs out to take care of business until the morning, and turned out all the lights. the house is silent and I love it! sometimes i like to have a glass of wine or who are we kidding, maybe 2 and watch tv, read a book, BLOG!! LOL. it's just that time of the day i think most moms look forward to...naptime and bedtime. But no wine at naptime. that's usually filled with work and chores!
I filled up my glass the other night, took a couple sips and was so tired, i poured the wine back into the bottle and went to bed!!! Sometimes it truly is the thought that counts! So get the fancy glass out and enjoy some wine. or just pour the wine and head to bed! either way, it's what the Doctor ordered. and as a mom, I don't always listen to what a "person in a white coat" tells me (that's another more serious blog), but in this case, i have no problem with this prescription and am following orders quite often! cheers!
