Going out for NYE: Overrated?

[CoolWool]

I remember going out when I was younger and having a blast. Now that I'm older and have a family, it's not as cool as it used to be. Maybe it's because of all of the work involved? Or the cost. Babysitters, high heels that hurt, staying up late when you just wanna go to bed... Or did I just go to a crappy party? LOL

Either way, next year, when husband and I just go to bed at 11PM, I won't be too jealous of all the partyers. I think I'll just think about all the money I'm saving, and how happy I am to have a great family to sleep through NYE with.
