A confession and an AW

tawillers · February 2012

Confession: DH and I haven't been on a date since before DD1 was born.

But we're making it right. We actually have a babysitter lined up for next saturday night. DH is taking me to dinner and a movie. I might even have a drink at dinner (!!). I have only had an alcoholic beverage once since before I got pregnant with DD1 (ok, it was several drinks and we were at a wedding).

I'm going to get my hairs cut and highlighted next week and I'm going to wear a dress.

Our NY resolution was to go on dates at least once a month this year. Well we didn't go in January, but we're making sure we do it from now on. We are totally fine, but we need to be alone again sometimes, and not just at night after they go to bed. I'm burned out on kids, kids, kids all the time.

yes, don't let yourself stay burnt out because of kids. i'm just starting to get my brain back into shape after having what i consider to have been a nervous breakdown. i'm not exaggerating.

having this baby is wonderful. not having anything else to do with myself is horrifying and gives me anxiety. good for you, it's so important to remember that you are a couple.

try to find other things to talk about besides the kids, too! make up index cards if you have to, lol. H and i often gossip about people when we have our dates. it's our thing.
