The mommies of all the three year olds I know (hmm..four of us!) are abandoning the little monsters to hit the town tonight. Starting off with a jolly to the theatre to see Chicago and ending who knows where. Or when. Please God not too late, we have go to a family fun day at Finleys new pre-school at nine o’clock in the morning…
Part of the fun of escaping these four walls is in the getting ready. Singing while I iron my outfit. Spritzing perfume into the air in my bedroom to get me in the mood. Taking extra care creating a Roxie Hart-esque red pout and tonging my hair into theatrical ringlets…
It’s kind of like my very own pre-show party. Blue cheese and black pepper crackers arranged artfully on a plate. A glass of something fuzzy at my side and music loud enough to offend the neighbours as I pluck too many eyebrows and paint toenails no-one else will see…
I dance a lot. Jump about on my bed and ring friends to discuss respective outfits like a gaggle of teenage girls. (Kath has informed me that she will be wearing something "snazzy". It’s a worry on my mind.) I try clothes on that don’t fit and grow temporarily depressed, then put on the same old same old and run to the taxi feeling temporarily beautiful…
I’m excited. Can you tell?

Hi Alison! What a great photo! Where did you find it?? I could very much relate to your nite outings! My 4 sisters and I do this on a regular basis! We rotate on where we are going…wich is always a secret! Nevertheless we always get dressed up after a drink and snack and then we're off to that secret place! We have lots of fun as you can imagine!!
Good to hear that you take good care of yourself in this dep. aswell!
