My very own Mommy pot of gold

Picture it (said in my best sophia petrillo voice) "The Moms" all set to go out for our first annual (or hopefully first monthly) "Mom's night out". The girls, seen below, ditched the kiddies (Daddys and/or Grandmas are "babysitting")...well the pregnant girls brought their buns obviously b/c they are still in the oven and leaving them home with daddy would have required more of a to do than the dinner actually merrited...although I bet they wish at this point they could leave their sidekicks home for a night...but I digress. So the 6 girls left the 10 kids (EEK) at home and went out for a night of dining and drinking. It started off rough. Thunder, lightning, torrential downpour, outdoor dining plans switched at the last second to indoor dining, puddles ankle deep, parking spot stalking, and Main street closures were all packed into the first 40 minutes of the night by some mommy hating, mysoginist weather god to try and deter us from enjoying a night out sans the kiddies AND the hubbies. I swear sometimes it feels like the whole world is plotting against us Mommies. Trying to keep a sista down. Paranoia? Maybe. Anyway, we would not be detered. As only a Mommy with mad mommy skills can do we managed to coordinate a very stealth last minute venue change with little more than eleventy 8 phones calls on the ride over. Upon arriving at the new restaurant of choice every single mom bragged about the fabulous parking spot each independantly procurred and the rainbow we all saw. It turns out the new restaurant was not only fab and fun and not crowded but it was at the bottom of not one but TWO rainbows!!!! It's not often that I see one rainbow these days since at the first sight of rain I pack the kids and head for the hills but 2?!?!? It almost feels like to me like the ShehHaterKeepAGoodWomanDownWeathergod was putting us through a little test and when he saw how victorious and efficient we were he rewarded us with two lovely rainbows and a perfect night out! I hate to say it b/c it feels like a dare but that weather god is going to have to try much harder next time if he wants to keep us from repeating this night!
