Patapalooza August 15, 2005
Posted by spacemom in : Life...otherwise , add a commentWow, am I growing up or what? We were invited to Patapalooza this
weekend. We spent a weekend driving 3.5 hours to Western Maine,
playing in Long Lake, getting 2 crazy girls to bed, and then playing
adults (I’m not an adult, I just play one on TV)..
It was really a peculiar weekend. We now most of these people from my
friend H (hereafter known as Crazy H), and her husband. This is the
first time we’ve been invited to this event. It was also the first
time since Pat’s mom passed away that this event has been held. Here’s
the set up: 1 Lake house, 4 kids under 3 (ok, Leslie just turned 3), 4
couples, 2 singles and a widower, a nasty dog that is dying and
several spiders that were large enough to carry Renee off on their
backs.
Pat and H were our hosts. H and I had a really long talk about how we
have all grown up. This used to be a big party, and now we were more
relaxed, less drinking (WHY??) and more sleep (although I blame the
kids). It was also very nice to just sit back and relax.
Crazy H was driving me nuts again. She has become a bitter person. I
don’t get it. My lovely DH (we’ll call him Jay- his DJ name from his
radio days), pointed out something so important. She needs to learn
that we are insignificant in life. We are not special. We are just
cogs. And once we accept this, we are free to break the chains of what
others think and we can live for ourselves. In 100 years, only my
family will know of me. I will have made a difference to those who
love me, but screw every else.
All in all, I enjoyed the weekend, but I was frustrated with how crazy
Crazy H has gotten. I have been asked to hand her the Clue by
4… Sigh, that is a hard task…
