waking up covered in gold glitter

I have decided that yesterday is worth documenting. First things first, I went to the grad. bar with the Dr. last night, then stayed at his place until like 2 am. So first thing this morning I had to be up to take care of my 3 boys. I get to their house at 8:30AM and slather them up with sunscreen and throw their bike helmets on so we can meet up with the neighbor and his kids for a bike ride. Of course the four year old doesn't want to ride his own bike so I ended up doing the ride with him in the kiddy seat on the back of the bike. We went along the river, through the neighborhood (beautiful multi-million dollar homes everywhere) and all over the cemetery. After 2 hours I thought my legs were going to give out, but we made it home with no major incidents. I fed the boys and sent the oldest off to a birthday party. The little ones and I spent the rest of the afternoon playing and eventually their mom came and took them all to the pool. Next I went to my friends secret agent potluck party where there was a four level human pyramid, parade with Noah's Ark, dancing on the street and car, and me hitting someone on the balcony square between the eyes with a donut hole. He thought he saw god or at least something holy, but in fact it was quite the opposite. LOL. So after that I brought one of my friends back to my place to hang out until the event that was happening later. We of course ran into my darling roommate and while we were making plans with him and random neighbor showed up and invited us to a party. So we hung out at a party at the neighbors for a bit. It was super awkward, because we didn't know anyone and all the other guests were way older, but everyone was very nice. Then we came home and threw darts and drank some more before heading over the another friends house to get dressed up for the parade and dance party downtown. Some one loaned me and awesome sequined purple dress!!! I might not give it back. So finally we all headed downtown where we were in the parade. I ran into about a million people I know. It was so weird that every where I looked I saw someone I knew and even better, my "landlord" randomly knows all the same people I know. I would find someone I know and start talking to them and he would come right up and already know them. So somewhere along the parade route someone gave me a bag of glitter which I proceeded to use to cover everyone I know with glitter. Which explains why this morning when I got up to pee I looked in the mirror and was gold and sparkly from head to toe. Anyway after the parade, there were a bunch of stages set up all over downtown and there was constant music all night long. Even at 3 am when we finally left, the party was still going strong. I literally danced so much I am sore. I think we would have stayed longer, but water was impossible to find and after 5 hours of dancing we were getting desperate. So after the long walk home, a gallon of water and a "who has the dirtiest feet" contest I crawled into bed still covered in glitter.
