Now that the holidays and the kid’s birthdays are done, it’s time for the parents. The Mommy and I were actually married in September but celebrate our anniversary in January (the month we actually started dating.) We always try to do something special, but because finances tend to be short after the preceding events (and tax returns haven’t come in yet) we usually settle for some time alone. That’s right, time alone. No don’t adjust your sets… I really did just say that!
This year Nannie will be taking the children from Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon. Yes, even the 3 month old little man. Hey, she had five kids she knows what to do, right? RIGHT! The Helper loves going to Nannies’ and the feeling is definitely mutual. Though, after an extended stay he will call us and tell us to come and get him. I believe it’s because he misses us but to be honest with myself I really think it’s more that he misses his “stuff.”
Now comes the decision on what to do with our freedom; Movie and dinner out? Movie and dinner in? Movie in, dinner out? Movie out, dinner in? Oh, the choices are endless. Can you tell I’m filled with glee! We’ve actually been invited to some friends (who don’t have any little people) on Saturday night. They’re good friends so we’re probably going; a good time will definitely be had by all. The Mommy is actually off until next Wednesday, so this is a mini-vacation for all of us.
I will start doing a little “jig” by 8 p.m. tonight – No, no video will be produced! Exclusive adult time is so important; it clears our minds and rejuvenates our souls. It also gives us time to reflect on our jobs as parents.
A time for some introspection without, “DAAAAADY!” being called out every three minutes.
A time to remember why people fall in love in the first place.
A time to reflect on our successes and failures.
A time to enjoy some good company, good conversation and…
A time to miss our children!

I love this blog... I love reading words that we mostly hear from SAHMs but it's actually from a man, a man's perspective. This is great.
ENJOY YOUR TIME ALONE! I also treasure that and it's VERY VERY VERY rare. Like maybe once or twice a year at most.
Enjoy your weekend! Alone time is to be treasured, and it sounds like your guys need it!

Gosh, what I wouldn't give to simply spend the night in a hotel, watch cable movies as late as I wanted and SLEEP IN!
I hope you reconsidered dancing that jig!! I would hate for your little piggy to spoil perfectly good alone time...
Good for you! Alone time is important. I hear ya about missing the kids. When Jeff and I went out to dinner last week, I found myself missing the bunny! Please don't get me wrong though, I LOVED the uninterrupted time with the hubby!

If you should put even a little on a little, and should do this often, soon this too would become big.
