Before you head out the door for your party:
1. Make sure you have breakfast and lunch for the next morning prepped before you leave for your big bash. That way when kids wake you up and that hangover is at its worst, you have a fridge full of food ready to be eaten and you are not looking at eggs wondering what to do with it! Remember one of the cures for hangovers is to eat as soon as you wake up and that too a carb rich meal. So indulge in pancakes, eggs, or even something with honey to nurse that hangover.
2. Keep a few games or new toys ready for your kids. So that way when they wake you up the next morning, they can be given these toys or games and you can manage to sleep in a bit longer.
At the party:
1. Drink a glass of water after every alcoholic beverage you have. This helps in a big way with a hangover.
2. Never drink on an empty stomach. That is just no fun! Food especially carb rich food, seems to have an amazing effect towards slowing down the effects of alcohol!
3. Once you are back home, remember to take an aspirin before you sleep. Drink more water. If your kids do manage to wake you up at night, remember to drink water every time they do so you can literally flush the alcohol out of your system.
The morning after the party:Â
1. Do whatever it takes to get your kids to sleep in for a while longer. If they follow the clock make sure to switch it back by an hour! If they do wake up give them the ‘toys and games‘ that you had ready for them from the night before and steal a couple more minutes of sleep.
2. If they are done ploughing through their new toys and you want to stay in just a while longer, then it is absolutely fine to give them a quiet activity to do or pop in a movie in the other room that they just can’t refuse. Whatever they want to do, as long as it is quiet.
3. Once you have run out of options and it is time to wake up, make sure to eat first. Then maybe of your kids are the right age and up for it, you could all pretend to have a morning filled with pampering! Imagine you are at a spa, soak your feet together in a tub. Enjoy some pampering and make an activity out of it.
