I know, I know. I'm late to the game. Sue us if TBone and I like to hang with Maksi BB. Also, our child care (maternal mother is our day care) limits our options for weekend/night time sitters.
You know what was nice? Going to lunch and dinner with my husband- sans BB. Sure, we talked about Maks but it was things like, "man, that baby is cute," or "that baby was a real pistol the other night," instead of, "Maksi, sit down," "BB, what's a tiger say?" or "Sweetie, he doesn't need another doughnut."
You know what we mostly talked about? Not Maks.
We talked about work, about funny things we saw on twitter/the internets, family, friends, how we never went out to Indian that wasn't a buffet. I often reflect about things like, "hey did you think when you were making fun of me when we went skiing that first time in 2006 that we'd be sitting here in 2011 celebrating your birthday while my sister watches our kid?"
I get really nostalgic when I think about where we've been.
What's weird about all of this is that I don't feel only defined by my role as a mother like I read about in some other blogs and magazine articles that warn young mothers/families about. I think all of my friends are doing a nice job balancing this, if I do say so myself! But I know me and TBone are missing out a little. It's more like, something isn't feng shui-ing in my life that's keeping us from having more date time (and keeping us from being able to fold laundry when it comes out of the dryer- seriously, Sarah and Todd, what's gives?)
So anyways, I had a nice night with my Suh-weetie.
And I'd like to go see a movie.
ThanksKBye.
