Memorial Day - Pre-kids and Post-kids

I was inspired by another Pre-kid/Post-kid post this morning and decided to do my own.

Memorial Day Morning - Pre-Kids:
  • Sleep till 10 or so.  Recovering from partying the night before.  Get up, lounge on couch, eat some toast.
Memorial Day Morning - Post-Kids:
  • Sleep till the first child wakes up.  Did not party the night before.  Get up, shower with door open,  feed and dress kids, get to store before gets crowded, take kids to park while no one is there (Score).
Memorial Day Afternoon - Pre-Kids:
  • Shower.  Go to the store to get stuff for BBQ you meant to get day before.  Maybe do some yard work before BBQ and friends come over (or you go there).
  • Go inside if you get too hot. 
  • Eat lunch around 3, so it's actually more like linner.  Food consists of steak, ribs, burgers, brats, chicken, sausage, potato salad, macaroni salad, fruit salad....
Memorial Day Afternoon- Post-Kids:
  • Eat some toast.  Go outside.  Fill up kiddy pool.  Change kids into swim diapers and bathing suits.
  • Pull up chair to put feet in kiddy pool.
  • Get laundry going.
  • Don't dare go inside if you get too hot, or the screaming and tantrums will begin.
  • Eat lunch at normal lunch time.  Burgers, hot dogs.  Mac and cheese.
Memorial Day Evening- Pre-Kids:
  • Have an alcoholic beverage.
  • Play bean bags.
  • Wish there was a pool.
Memorial Day Evening- Post-Kids:
  • Get things ready for a good dinner.  Steaks, potatoes, corn, etc.
  • Continue to play in the pool till the swim diaper poopy explosion.
  • Discover you are as red as a lobster, because although you put sunscreen on the kids, you didn't put any on yourself.
  • Be grateful for the kiddy pool.
Memorial Day Night- Pre-Kids:
  • Fire up the grill a second time. 
  • Continue to drink heavily.
  • Play bean bags terribly.
  • Wish there was a pool.
Memorial Day Night- Post-Kids:
  • Put everyone in their jammies.
  • Relax on the couch and watch a movie.
  • Kids pass out.
  • Mom and Dad watch Conan.
  • Be grateful for the pool.
  • Pass out.
Hope you all had a good memorial day.
