Party time

I managed to get up with my alarm, well a few minutes after anyway. As I had stayed late the previous night I had a bit of extra time with my son and wife before leaving for work. I then had another fantastic day at work. After work it was back home to help get my son ready for bed before going to my work Christmas party.

As it was in Cambridge, I decided to drive rather than drink. I took two of the young boys that I work with in the car with me. We arrived fashionably late, circulated for a while, then hit the dance floor for a while. As I'm not 21 anymore I couldn't sustain the required level for too long and I had to retire back to the quieter room to circulate some more.

Just after midnight my wife called, my son had been sick. I decided that it would be best to go. I feel bad that I cut the boys night short, but I had to do what was best for my family. My son was sick for the best part of two hours from midnight until 2 and then we managed to settle him down to sleep. He slept until 6.45.

I had a great time at the party, but given the early morning I'm glad I came home when I did.
