Boyfiend’s sister and her boyfriend bought a house a few blocks from us and Boyfiend’s been over there non-stop all week leaving me alone with the baby. He’s been home to put the Fiendling to sleep and he’s been around in the mornings, but he’s very conveniently missing the fussy late afternoon/early evenings.
Yesterday the temperature was in the 90s and the Fiendling refused to nap. I tried for more than an hour to get him to sleep indoors because it was way too hot for him to sleep in the stroller or the car. Then I walked him around in the stroller forever, trying to get him to sleep. He never fell asleep and by the time Boyfiend got home at 8 to put him down I really wanted a drink. I’d cooked dinner, but I was way too hot to eat it so I made a margarita. Then another. Then one more. I may have eaten something at some point, but I have no recollection of it if I did.
By the time Boyfiend got home at midnight I was passed out on the floor. He shook me awake and I told him how to properly prepare beets. Then, after seeing if I’d be up for some drunk sex and realizing I was way too drunk for that kind of activity, he tried to get me to bed and failed. He said he slept on the floor with me until 3. I woke up around 5 to the the sound of sad baby. I brought the Fiendling into bed with me and we slept until just after 8.
Surprisingly , I’m not too hungover. Standing and walking is a bit difficult, but I don’t have a headache or feel sick. Boyfiend brought me coffee and a bagel so I’ve got some food in my system. I’m hoping the nap strike is over so I can have a nap this afternoon.
The Perfect, Potent Margarita
3 oz Tequila
2 oz triple sec
1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
shake with ice until the shaker is frosty. Serve in a glass with a salted rim with wedge of lime.
I recommend drinking these on a full stomach with some chips and guacamole.

Note to self: Buy triple sec. And, uh, limes.

I have a friend who makes “beer margaritas” which sound positively vomitous, but are sooo tasty and will kick your ass. It’s like a can of frozen limeade, a can of beer, a can of tequila (you measure it in the limeade can) and a can of triple sec, add some water and crushed ice.
Too drunk for drunk sex is pretty drunk. Happy to hear you sidestepped a hangover.
