Jordan and I were invited to have dinner with a couple that I have never met, but Jordan has worked with the guy. All I know about them is that they live 45 minutes from us and that they have 2 little girls. So, I obviously want to make a good impression and this is NOT the night for awkward Raema to make an appearance. So what do I wear? I don't want to be fancy and over dress...so skinnies and a loose top say, "hey I'm here to party." Who doesn't like to party? Except I have eaten WAAAY too much bread and I am bloated so I have to do lunges and squats to get them on (you ladies know what I am talking about). So I guess I will have a really cute muffin top tonight...Why not wear other jeans? Because like I said I am bloated and my "fat" jeans have a hole in the crotch and obviously that doesn't make a good first impression...On top of it I got 3 new zit friends that won't go away with all of the concealer in the world. Look and dress like a rock star? CHECK!
I said that I would make bread (because they are making spaghetti what goes better with spaghetti then BREAD?) and brownies and Jordan wanted me to make cookies. Ok, not a problem....unless I decide to start making all of it at 3:45pm...So I am sitting here waiting for the bread to rise then I get to multi task like a beast and bake the cookies, brownies and bread all at one time. We shall see how this turns out....
So I have the look, the food and I'm feeling super cool...except I forgot NO MOM LOOKS "COOL" WHEN THEIR 4 KIDS ARE INVITED TO THE PARTY....now I get to sit in a strangers house looking "cool" trying not to look like a crazy person as I give the "look" (moms of boys know this look) to my 3 boys when they try to play with things that little girls play with, except turn them into swords and guns. So, my prayer is that I leave that house not having said anything embarrassing (enter awkward Raema), not crying (I seem to be doing that lately), and that my boys don't break anything or say anything inappropriate...
Tonight, I am living the dream....
