Usually my hubby is off partying the night away with some of the crazy students we work with, or at least trying to keep them semi-contained. But with 2 hooligans I usually just ended up staying home and calling it a night.
This year, though, we got the night "off". We took the students to a concert on the 30th, since taking them on New Years Eve never would quite work out for everyone. So we got the chance to hang out with some friends of mine, from way back. I mean, way back...as in I wasn't even driving yet. And they are still the best friends a girl could ask for.
I was so excited to be able to catch up, hang out, reminisce, and ring in the New Year in some way other than asleep like an old lady. We took the kids, which was probably a crazy idea, but so many of my girlfriends hadn't ever even had a chance to meet the infamous hooligans, and I hadn't had a chance to meet their new babies or husbands/boyfriends, etc. There were lots of new people to meet, but over a game of Apples to Apples, you don't stay strangers very long. :)
It was a great way to start off the New Year...other than waking up the next morning with Merrick's diapered behind on my head. I think my resolution for this year will be to find a babysitter well in advance for next New Years...now that I know I can handle staying up past my bedtime. :)
