It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

I don't get out much. I try for twice a month. However, when I do go out, I enjoy a few glasses of wine.

I NEVER drink a drive (I am not an idiot). So often I will carpool with friends, or take a cab home.

My husband has a little trick. He leaves his car on the street. This accomplishes two things:

1) Lets him know when I arrive home
2) Lets him know how much I've had to drink

We live in Toronto. If you leave your car parked on our street after midnight, without a permit, you get a ticket.

I get dropped off, and I make the choice.

Last night I stuck with Diet Coke and tea - pulled the car into the driveway no problem!

One or two glasses of wine over a three hour period, I will park the car carefully.

Five or six drinks, I ask the cab driver if he would mind pulling my husband's car into the driveway (this is our secret, by the way).

My husband is surprised that I thought of it all on my own. Creative when inebriated.
