An evening with the hubs?
Putting lil man's in someone other than family's hands has bee something I have yet to attempt. I have heard the terrifying stories of mishaps and experiences all of which have made me leery in doing so. Not to mention the fact that in order to get a babysitter these days you may as well take out a small loan. What happened to the days when I was a teen when I was just happy getting something?
But at las the time has come to do so. If I want anytime with Andy, child free I am going to have to suck it up and do so. At least this is what I figure. Because while my family loves Logan, I realize that they can't always watch him, nor do I want or expect them to. However I am grateful for the times they do.
That being said, I realized the other night while Logan was down visiting my sister and Andy and I were celebrating our fourth anniversary, how much I enjoyed the dinner with just the two of us. And how I couldn't recall the last time that had actually happened. When it comes to dating and time together I often feel as though it has taken a backseat to parenthood and family. And while my husband doesn't seem to mind this, I feel it is often needed.
We had an offer from one of Andy's friends wife to watch the little man, in fact she has bee pretty much begging us to watch him. For awhile there we really didn't want to take her up on the offer. I really have no reason. My husband said he would call. We lost air conditioning. We ended up going south. So whatever, it always just took a backsteat.
Until this evening, when I figured enough was enough if I wanted time without lil man around. I would have to just ask myself....And it has paid off. For we have found ourselves a babysitter for next Saturday, where I will attempt to go out have adult conversation, an adult dinner and hopefully be able to catch an adult film. IE- no cartoon movie for me. All while someone else will watch my son.
And with any luck, we may actually like it enough, and Logan may be good enough that she just may do it again.
Fingers crossed that is.
