Saying yes or okay can be one of the more challenging things for me (I live my life on a plan…down to the hour of the day it’s highly annoying and also productive).
Take tonight for example.
Tonight I had a Reds Wives meeting at the stadium and since Tucker wasn’t playing that meant not doing my hair or makeup (slightly regretting the no makeup) because I could just go straight up to the conference room and leave immediately after the meeting was over. I had planned out an evening of catching up on The Bachelorette because JoJo is my second favorite Bachelorette of all time (I haven’t even been on Twitter because I hate despise people who spoil the show…minus my tweet of being a deer whisperer…I’ll catch y’all up on the deer whisperer another time after another glass of Chardonnay). I planned on going to the meeting and then coming home to watch The Bachelorette while eating Cheerios or Lean Cuisine and drinking a glass of Acronym Cabernet (cheerios and cabernet wtf am I 22?). After the meeting one of the girls asked me to go grab dinner if I didn’t have plans.
I immediately thought in my head welllll…that Lean Cuisine that probably has freezer burn,cabernet and JoJo are calling my name. Then I thought no. I am going to dinner. Why in my right mind would I even debate going home for a damn Lean Cuisine over dinner with a friend?!?!?!
Because…comfort is everything(for me at least).
I find comfort in being alone. In my own world of being me. No judgment. Tucker’s wife. Princeton’s mama. I also find loneliness in being alone. Tucker is at the stadium. Princeton had a bath and his hair dried(his favorite) which means he’s probably content and asleep in a T shirt left behind from last night. So I said yes.
I am so glad I agreed to go because laughter,friendship and catching up is so important. I may have looked less than dinner ready (like a disgusting hot mess in my 2009 Hogs Breath T shirt) but my soul needed tonight. Conversation, laughing, good food and a great glass of wine is what I needed. I almost missed out on it because I thought I should be home…comfortable. Comfort is exactly what I felt tonight as I opened up to a friend who has such a similar life to mine.
Maybe we should all say yes more. Yes means new conversations, new outlooks on life and new comfort zones.
That’s all for tonight (because let’s be honest JoJo is still waiting for me on the DVR).
