To say that Drew and I never get any time together without kids dominating every moment of every conversation, would be an understatement. In fact, sometimes an entire weekend will pass and I will realize Monday morning that we haven't even hugged each other.
There are days when I dream about being that couple that has a standing date every Saturday night. Truth is, we couldn't be that couple even if we wanted too, because we usually have something to do with the girls in the late afternoon that leads into Saturday evenings.
And truthfully even if we don't have a prior commitment, we are usually so tired by Saturday night that going out is the last thing we want to do. And then there's that little issue of me and my girls, and my wanting to be with them.
Since I work outside the home and already feel like I miss so much, our weekends are spent together and I love and wouldn't change it for all the Saturday night dates in the world.
BUT, I'm not saying a Saturday night every now and then, as we were lucky enough to have this past Saturday while the girls were both at a sleepover party, is not a good thing.
We had a ridiculously amazing and much needed night filled with movies and good food. We slept in Sunday morning and had a leisurely breakfast together filled with beautiful moments of silence.
Even though I started missing my girls the Wednesday before the Saturday sleepover, {pathetic, believe me I know}, strangely I didn't miss them that night.
I knew they were safe and in those moments between Saturday night and Sunday morning I got to just be that girl with her guy...
