Last night, Steph and I were watching TV and were bombarded with commercials about the movie The Guardian, which opens today and I really want to see. Steph mentioned that she wanted to see it also but would have to wait until it came out on DVD. Acknowledging that, now that Alex is here, there will be fewer spontaneous movie dates in her life.
I don’t think she knows just how “fewer†that is going to be. Somehow, once you have children, going out on dates with your spouse seems to be something that you only do once in a blue moon — maybe on a holiday or special occasion like your anniversary.
I haven’t been on a date with Steve since last September when we went to the ZZ Top concert. Oh sure, we’ve been out to dinner a lot - there for a while we were eating out 4-5 times a week - but always with at least 1 kid in tow. We’ve been bowling and to the movies - with the kids. We’ve even gone to a couple of work-sponsored functions without the kids - but those were work functions not dates.
Amber’s going on real dates. She has a new beau. They’ve been on a couple of dates and have plans for dinner and a movie on Sunday. It’s not that I’m complaining (really its not - its more like whining), I’d just like to go out a little more often without the kids - a real date, the kind where you shave your legs and wear a nice dress- and I want to do it before we go early for the Senior Citizen special and use our AARP discount.
WTF?!? Friday - Baby Style:
- We thought Alex was big
- Words fail me
- A different kind of mile-high club
- Gerber Blueberry Buckle was pretty good
- I guess this is one way to keep them quiet
