Not Me! Monday

Yesterday, for the first time in almost two years, it was not I who was able to be alone with my husband and go on a date! We did not talk non-stop in the van and were not able to browse in a bookstore without children hanging on us or pulling books off the shelves. I did not see a mother who reminded me of myself, with three children who were causing a ruckus and wouldn't let her shop and I did not think "How dare you bring children into a bookstore, this should be a place of peace!" (Seriously, I'm just kidding on that one!)

We did not enjoy a romantic meal of McDonald's food (hey, we were pressed for time!) We did not do a quick shopping trip at Walmart and then talk non-stop on the way way home as well. We did not realize that we need to do this A LOT more and how stupid we were by not doing this sooner.

  2. How funny that you went to a "kid restaurant" on your date with no kids. Sounds like something I would do...and have done! Great post...

  3. Good morning, Beth! Reading this reminded me that I also need to get out with my husband...we are trying for once a month. Not easy with three little ones, but worth the effort. It's important not to let the marriage get lost in the shuffle of every day life. Glad you had a nice time. Have a blessed week! --Dee <3
