We actually did better than just survive the wedding. The kiddo contingent all did a pretty decent job if it.
A few photos later, kids were ditched at home and off we went for an evening of dining and dancing.
At one point I found myself shaking it up on the dance floor with three mamas who are married to the Daly boys (cousins of the bride on the other side). They are a great trio and I was in good company….they are all ‘prolific’ in the baby-making department as well. At one point, one mama stopped dancing, huddled us in and pointed out that between the four of us dancing mamas, we have 17 children. Good grief…that’s some average! Suitably, we toasted, laughed at the pregnant women with their mocktails (“better them than us, ha,ha, cheers!”), then sent husbands back to the bar to fetch drinks. We were quite fabulous as we tossed our heads back in laughter without a care in the world. Who needs to keep track of time on a night like that!?
That all came crashing down this morning at 6:00am. The Fantasy-land of last nights festivities ended very abruptly indeed. As one of the mamas so simply put as a Facebook status update this morning: “I hurt in so many ways”. So between the four dancing mamas and our 17 kids, today we have had to collectively deal with headaches, sore feet, exhaustion, and engorged breasts.
So, seems the role of “Mother of the Flower girl/Ring bearer” was easily survived. Where things went pear-shaped was when a few mamas got together on a rare night when no one was actually pregnant!

I love it!

All business!!
