"I am so glad it's the weekend."
I think I probably say that every Friday, though as a SAHM of kids that are too young for school, my days are really all the same. Regardless of the letters that come before the word ____day. I still wake up with the girls, feed, and clothe the girls, and then put them to bed. The only thing different is having a husband in the mix.
Which leads me to my plans for the night. My husband will be home late, I don't know why, I didn't pay attention. I called him and informed him that we were having a date tonight. There will be no reservations or babysitters involved. No tickets to buy or people to tip. No bartenders, strangers, friends, neighbors, just us.
Sometimes we get wrapped up in other responsibilities and obligations. We have a tendency to be so exhausted by the time the ladies are in bed that we just veg in front of our computers or video games. We get lost in books or homework instead of hanging out together.
While the days of all nighters, clubs, and house parties are long gone we still have a great time together. He is my best friend and the person who is my exact opposite. I mean, the guy actually likes math, what the hell is with that?
So tonight after we put the ladies to bed we will watch LOST, eat some unhealthy yummy food and I will kick his ass at Boggle. He will then try to convince me to play Stratego and I will claim that he has an unfair advantage in that particular game, since he has military experience and can read my mind. Maybe we'll even sit outside on the porch swing and have a drink.
It's going to be a great night.
