I enjoy a good cocktail, and, if you are a regular reader of my posts, then you are well aware of my desire to be in a constant state of tipsy so that I don't have to deal with everyday life and all of it's horrors.
And yes, there have been times when I thought to myself, "Do I really need that fourth bottle of wine?" but then I watch Mad Men and realize that if constant drinking by Ad Executives during office hours is okay, then sitting on my couch in stained sweatpants, drinking a bottle of Riesling at 9am is perfectly legit.
Of course, one of the side effects of drinking that early in the morning is a deep, psychological need to look at myself and naturally, since I am a woman nearing 40, my mind turns to all the hilarious ways to raise potential offspring if my ovaries could manage to squeeze out a viable egg not covered in cobwebs (like raising a tribe of circus performers/carnies by making them throw darts at balloons in order to get fed).
And, upon spying the Martini Glass Rattle, I knew that there was someone out there who also thought that raising children inappropriately was funny as well and for that, I am grateful.
Because nothing says "Awesome Parenting Skills" quite like presenting a baby with faux alcohol to keep them occupied while you spend a couple of blissful hours watching HGTV.
You know what? I don't think this Mothering thing would be half bad after-all.
