So I will admit only one thing about my crazy side, on the nights (like tonight) where I'm planning to go out and hit the dance floor my friends and I work up to it for hours before.
It started off today at like 12:00 when my friend asked if I wanted to go. We discuss the details and the first thing out of my mouth is, "let me check with the husband and I'll call you back." At 12:30 I text her and said I was good to go. At 12:40 she called and confirmed, I stated I needed to hit the store on the way home (in hopes of finding something new to wear) and then as we get off the phone she says, "can't wait to see in about 8 hours!" Then it begins...I'm like a 21 year old, club hopping chick (yet at 30 I am a responsible this go around). From that point on, we text half the day little "can't wait to get down tonight" and "shake my rumpshaker on the dance floor" and other stupid comments that in any other "normal" conversation would NEVER utter out of my mouth otherwise! I know around 5:30 pm I'll have a light dinner because I won't want to complain at 7:45 that I ate too much dinner and I'm bloated too much to get into my skinny jeans. I will also change at least 3 times, unless I find a new shirt in which I'll probably change 4 times because it wasn't how I'd picture it to look only to in the end go back to putting it on and saying, "I look fine and I'm acting insane."
Finally, I will leave my house at 8:30 (to save on the $6 cover charge that starts after 9:00). The best part is by 12:00 I'm going home because "this place sucks and I'm too old to be in the club" and by 12:30 I'm at home, in bed and can't wait to see my daughter's cute face in the am so we can go to breakfast and hang out!
Does anyone else have a crazy side of going out with friends that they want to share?? Oh and just so EVERYONE knows, I don't drink excessively and drive...I'm not 21 and THAT crazy anymore lol.

It makes me tired just
It makes me tired just thinking about it. I got all my dancing out in my twenties too. Its sad to say, but I rather be sitting at home making crafts in the peace and quiet.
I admire you for having that kind of energy. Have fun and be safe!

You are so funny! I envy
You are so funny! I envy you for even staying up past 9pm!!! I am going to be 34 in a few weeks, and have always worked in the restaurant industry, so late nights were a part of my life....I was bartending only 2 yrs ago, and some of my shifts would START at 9pm...since having my son, it seems like ONE minute past 8pm my exhaustion kicks in and I need to lay down...i'm not kidding, as soon as the clock hits 8:01!!!!
Good for you going!!! Have a drink or two, shake your booty a bit, and a few good laughs...
...so jealous!!!

I am 26 and it was just
I am 26 and it was just never my thing. I will go out for a drink when it's a friends birthday but that's really it. Last couple of times I wet to a club I had to drink several red bulls. I just don't dig sweaty men hitting on me in a packed humid club. But then again we would go to Scottsdale where it gets packed. Have a ton of fun and make sure you have a DD!

Im with Kim, I love to go
Im with Kim, I love to go out occasionally. About once a month hubby and I have a date night. Our sitter comes over about 5pm, we head out to a wine bar for a glass of wine and some cheese, then off to a light dinner, usually sushi/seafood. We like to head out early so that we are home by 9 or 10pm at the latest.
It makes us talk to eachother, w/o being interuped by kiddos, phones, life, etc. We get to reconnect.
I see my girlfriends at the gym and sometimes we meet up for Sunday afternoon lunch and movies. Lots of chat time.
Kuddos to you Kim for braving the night club scene! :) Have fun tonight.

While I do have girls' time,
While I do have girls' time, I don't do clubs. Considering the majority of people who go there are in their 20's, I'm really out of place being that I'm 36 and not looking to pick anyone up.
I did my partying in my late teens early 20's and got it all out of my system before getting married and having kids. Quite frankly I don't miss it, as a pp stated, I like what I have now.
It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not.
LOL...I will say
LOL...I will say this...usually on even Friday or Saturday nights it takes strong will for me not to fall asleep by 8:45 (standard falling asleep time). Hopefully I'm feeling this good to go in two hours when I'm suppose to leave!
I will definitely be safe and enjoy my night of feeling young! Very few happen now a days!
Everyone else enjoy your weekend also!

Ok, I have to admit. A
Ok, I have to admit. A friend of mine was entertaining visitors and asked me if I would go out. Keep in mind I haven't been to a club in 6 years! So I decided to go. Well my friend suggested a nap, since like the rest of you I cannot stay up late. So that is what I did. Spent lots of time getting ready, taking a nap, and getting dressed. Went out drank way to much and nursed a hangover the next day. Well let me tell you it wasn't worth it and it is totally out of my system. I am too old for that. Plus I was SHOCKED by some of the "girls" I saw out and kept thinking in my head that I would kick my daughter's butt if they did that. So, Yah, I'm too old for that. Plenty of other things a 30yr.old w/ kids can do to have fun! :-)

I think that is great that
I think that is great that you go out with your friends. But is it good for your marriage? I've seen posts that you've been having marriage problems for some time now, is this one of the issues? My husband and I do have occassional time aways with our friends, I wonder if this is causing you two problems or shielding the real problems going out clubbin'. ??
There is no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one!
No, this isn't the issue. I
No, this isn't the issue. I should clarify that from the time I got married (Sept 07) to now I really never went out. I basically hadn't gone out with my friends to the club or really even just in general from about October (we got married on the 28th) to about April (the first time I went to the club was for my friend's b-day on the 19th). In this time, I went to friend's homes with my husband or maybe out to dinner, but I only ever went out with my husband. It's hard to explain to an outsider but my issues with my husband are really based on his actions and issues. I live in a land filled with hypocricy and what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander. However, that's why my husband is in counseling to try and correct this.
