I gave up wine for Lent, not just wine but all alcohol. I think it's my way of making sure I'm not an alcoholic. Just kidding, just kidding. I know I'm not an alcoholic, but I really enjoy my wine. I love having a glass of wine at the end of the day, after working all day, and running the kids around, and making dinner, and working out. It's like my "me" time. It’s my time to unwind and just relax before I go to bed. I know some of you feel me on this, come on, admit it!! On one particular day during Lent, I was having a VERY ROUGH day. Stress at work, stress at home. I get home, and open my fridge & see a Riesling, just staring back at me. Beckoning me. I pop the cork and smell the wine. Ahhhhh!!! I wanted to just stick my tongue in the top, just for a little savory taste on my tongue. But I was good….and I stopped myself. I grabbed the keys and yelled for the kids…”come on guys, let’s go get a Blizzard!!” Ice cream truly saved me from sinning that day!!
Maybe next year I’ll give up coffee? Oh wait….I did that one year and my kids made me PROMISE to never do it again. I guess I was kinda grouchy.
Hope everyone had a great Easter….and yes, I had a glass of wine that night, and last night too.
Cheers!
i know how you feel, being pregnant ;)
