TL;DR: More tales of elvenqueen learning to drive in cities -- I went places by myself and didn't crash or get lost.
I was ultra brave yesterday. DH and I had plans to go for dinner at a friend's house near his work. So he took the train in to work, and I drove myself and the piranhas to his work in the evening, during rush hour, BY MYSELF, so the four of us could go from there. And I get major brownie points here: DH hid the GPS too well in the car, and I couldn't find it. By this point, the car was packed up, the babies were buckled in, and I was running 3 minutes late. So I just had to do things the old fashioned way -- I looked at a map before I left, and I followed signs on the highways. So freaking stressful, especially as Aidan started panic-crying out of nowhere halfway through this 45 min drive, and I had to navigate roads I've never driven on with him shrieking in the back of the car. I don't know what was up with him at all, but once we picked up Daddy he was fine.
So we made it in one piece, and we had a good night. I got to try out the Sony VR (not as phenomenal as I was expecting but still pretty cool), I ate a home-cooked roast not cooked by me, and we brought a play pen with and the piranhas actually went to sleep at 8, so we were able to stay late and drive home while they slept. It made for a long, long day but it's kind of nice that we are actually at least able to do this sort of thing every once in awhile. Slowly clawing my way out of this SAHM hole and back into the social world.
Just doing shopping today and maybe going to the rec centre for swimming with the piranhas tomorrow, plus maybe a craft store run. Chill weekend is the cure for a hectic week.

th3stryck3r, I am glad your h is ok. I hope the insurance company works quickly and easily and that he isn't in any pain today (delayed whiplash or anything like that).

Joann Fabrics has flannel for $2.49/yard. Take all my money!
Date was nice last night. H is out of town for work for the weekend...and I just shit myself after a fart went wrong. I swear this stomach bug will never end :/
elvenqueen that sounds like an amazing accomplishment! I don't think I could do that. And Yay for getting out of the sahm cave and having a fun night out! Those are so vital. ☺
We've had a good day so far. H took w to Sam's club this morning so I got to primp a bit. Then we went to my favorite Irish pub and had fish and chips. W napped super well and now h is building a learning tower for w and cutting up pipe for us to play with. He smashed his hand earlier which was scary but he went back to it after an hour so I think he's OK.
@janetheconquerer I'm really sorry about your H. Lying is hard to deal with. I'm glad you're looking into therapy. Are you thinking solo or couples? Feel free not to answer.
