Hubby and I are doing something unheard of. We are spending the day together...without Princess daughter...guilt-free. The stars must have collided -- hubby's employer is giving them the Friday before Labor Day off and I don't work on Fridays. However, Princess daughter will be at school. That means we have seven hours together to do whatever we want!
Furthermore, Princess daughter's gymnastics center is having a parents-night-out party, so there's another four hours of date-time. Wow - we might even get tired of each other! Before Princess daughter, this kind of day would have been no big deal, but those who have children -- particularly young children -- know that when a day like this lands in your lap, you feel like you've won the lottery!
I don't know what we plan to do, but it will be nice to share a conversation or two without being interrupted. It will be fun to have a laugh at interesting people who share our world without having to censor. And most of all, no spelling out words allowed!
Of course, we would not wish this to be a permanent state of life - we were fortunate to enjoy 14 years of coupleness before Princess daughter - but it is nice to look forward to some adult time just for us. I feel a little giddy.

I totally understand! Any time with out the kids at our place is treasured time! It doesn't come often enough...so when it does we jump at the chance! Enjoy your F-R-I-D-A-Y together! (oops, not supposed to spell....sorry! =)
