I wish someone would force me into a spa for a week. Just a full week of relaxation.

Relaxation to the point of boredom.

On Wednesday night, I went to visit my Aiming Low ladies in NYC.

It is so awesome that I get to actually see them on my turf! Of course, instead of arriving at 7pm, I got there at 9pm. I met a friend for drinks which turned into an “ex-friend” showing up. Needless to say, it didn’t go as well as I had planned. It was tear- filled, and upseting and that’s not what I wanted for that night!

Moving on!

Now, as we all know, Heather could not attend the party because she is with child and her doctor had told her that she didn’t think it would be a good idea. I was bummed out because, well – I promised her that I would cook her a Shabbat Dinner (fyi Anissa had never heard of Shabbat so Ms. Ali Martell had to school her). 

Of course, I still planned on loving on Heather: 

Me, Metalia & Ali - AWESOME Ladies

Now, I may or MAY NOT have already been drunk by the time I got to the party.

Me & VDOG - yes, she is LICKING Heather

The following night on Thursday, I had a work event- but was SO HUNG OVER from the night prior (yes, I get drunk off of 2 glasses of wine- what’s it to you?) that I decided to nix it and go to alumni night for my sorority. I guess I mistook “Alumni night” for a nice dinner with old friends. It turns out that it was a  pledging event where we got to scare the crap out of  little 18 year old girls. It was actually really sad- yet fun. I remember being a pledge. So freaked out that they would drop me.

I met up with some of my sorority BFF’s, some who I haven’t seen in years. It was wonderful to catch up and we promised one another that we would never wait that long again…

Sorority Sister breast-fed her little munchkin. Needless to say the young sisters were a bit freaked out.

On Friday, my mom took Soleil to sleep by her house. It was strange only having Neve at home. You feel guilty for giving up your child, and when my mom called us on the phone all I heard was Soleil screaming “Mommmmmmy – it broke my heart. Sometimes though, its nice to have only one of them.

I thought it would be an easy night, you know- with only one baby – but Neve kept waking up. It’s as if she SENSED her twin wasn’t there. It was very strange!

 On Saturday, Halloween – I decided to dress the girls up and take them to The Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. I didn’t want to spend the day indoors- so off we went with my mother.

Of course, this was a BADDDDDDDDD IDEA. I had no one to blame but myself.

 No one.

We took the subway, but had to transfer to another train- which happened to be about a 15 minute walk uphill underground, with NO Elevators. Only steps. My mother and I had to drag the girls in their double stroller up and down the stairs.

It was BAD.

When we go to the Museum, the place was JAM PACKED.

 The girls were overwhelmed, and a little bit freaked out when they saw monsters walking by them….

END OF MY ROPE.

 After the party, we had to do a little grocery shopping. I love going grocery shopping. Of course, it’s always more fun with my little helpers..

By the end of the week, we were all so pooped. After the girls were showered and fed l caught them sitting on their little cars watching sesame street..

Mind the mess

What a way to end the week….
