Best Part of the Day-
Finally got out of the house and joined Will-O at the wedding reception of his cousin. We ended up having a genuinely relaxed and enjoyable time. I did give W. a run down of acceptable date behaviors prior...afterward he did say "thanks, I wouldn't have known all of those..." (oh my). I made him dance and mingle he was a thoughtful companion. (His family is all cool and fun, too, so that helps.)

Worst Part of the Day-
It is MY issue. It is f-ing challenging for me to get out of the house when a sitter is a'comin. I feel like I spend a large portion of the day cleaning for the sitter (my issues) and making meals and snacks to make it easier for the sitter. By the time I have tidied for the sitter, I am bordering on exhaustion and no where near acceptable readiness for socializing.

Compounded with the fact that Liam was a complete nightmarish destruct-o today. When I ran down to do laundry at one point, he threw down and shattered 3 (all 3 that are even in the family room!) picture frames...omg. He broke the actual wooden frame on one. Another time when I ran up to brush my teeth, he had turned on the water in the kitchen and proceeded to spray down the entire kitchen--walls, floor, ceiling. He just stood there looking pleased and said, "dishes!" as if his antics counted as his daily chore. Oh me oh my.

What is acceptable date behavior? I may not know, maybe that is why W and I and all our friends married so late in life. I must know please list.

Rule #1: Don't get wasted within the first hour of the reception and start hitting on random females...especially at a family wedding--you could be hitting on your cousin. (You guys really don't know that?)
P.S.--I definitely would not say any of you married "late" in life. (I was 29, W. was 32--you/Ann were married years before us.)
