Wow we have so much in common. Also mom of 3 & married almost 16 yrs.
I know excatly how you feel about needed to have a drink or several to be around people & "loosen up" I used to even have to have a few before we could go to a movie, or go to dinner.
And dont ever remember having company over & not having several drinks.
but what really struck me is when you talked about "quizzing" the kids.
I remember the last time I got really drunk, woke up & my oldest was PO'ed at me & said I totally embarassed her, in front of her friend.
I then had to go quiz my 11 yo & ask what I did.
That is the worst feeling in the world!
Anyhow, I bet we can learn alot from eachother & all the great people here!
