[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 564715"] You goofed. It can be a great teaching moment -or- you can teach your kids that over-doing it is something to gloss over as though it is no big deal... Use the opportunity to show and tell them that mom is human and that when we hurt someone's feelings, or ruin someone's holiday - we apologize profusely, do our best to make it up to them and we make sure not to make the same mistake again... I had that happen the first Christmas without my dad...when you are stressed - alcohol can metabolize differently. Don't stress about it too much, just apologize, let your kids know that mom screws up, teach them that even seasoned adults can't always handle their booze the way they think they can and keep movin' forward...
