Sunday: The Fourth of July; A Day Off


So last night, Ivan slept with us again. It was better sleep all around, but I MUCH prefer I baby in his own bed. So, tonight we will be back to our usual sleep situation, and I am pretty pleased.

I had breakfast with my sister and her husband, and then lunch with my parents, before getting ready to go to a grown up party at our neighbors' house. Now, I am always so excited to go to a grown up party, but I have only had one successful grown up party since Ivan was born. Not that my deep and grating lack of sophistication is his fault, it just seems that I have less time to research my venues and less time to make sure that my whole wardrobe situation is suited to the event. Anyway, I was pretty sure that I today would be successful. I had a super cute outfit, and I made a minted fruit salad, so I felt like I was on it.

However, as soon as we got there, I understood that it was a pool party and not a stand around party, so I had to send my husband off for my bathing suit. I wore make up, when maybe that wasn't necessary and then to cap off the misery, one of my fake toenails came off while we were standing around the pool. It was tragic. Maybe I am not made for grown up parties. Maybe real grown ups get real pedicures and don't have to send their husbands for their bathing suits.

It is hard not to be cool.
