3:00am

Yup. That’s right. Last night I got home at THREE in the morning. What was I thinking? I am totally paying the price today. But I just couldn’t leave ’cause I was hanging out with an old High School pal and it had been years. Way. Too. Long.

It’s really funny though that when you’ve been good friends with someone growing up you can let years pass by with barely a word but when you see each other again it is like no time has passed. This was the case last night. We laughed and reminisced (my apologies to those who suffered through our inside jokes). It was so much fun.

The truth is that I’m really bad about keeping in touch with people. It’s not that I don’t want to or even that I don’t think of them. I think my days just get so crazy and for whatever reason it never gets done. I know it is no excuse because other equally busy people manage to stay in touch. And every time I see an old pal we have such a good time and we swear to each other that we’re going to get together more often and we’re going to be better about staying connected. Still, it doesn’t seem to happen. I really do hope it does this time though because last night was a blast. However, I’m sure I’ll be asleep tonight before my kids because 3:00am is stupidly late for a working mom of two.
