I went on a date today - with hubs! We were both off work and decided that although there is a comprehensive list of things we could have done, and feel very productive about - it would actually be nice to just spend some time together and not be at all efficient.
So, we put the rat race to one side for a few hours and went for a potter about. We had a great time, and included a trip to the cinema; ice cream and all. We even managed to use the cinema vouchers given to us when Z was born - 3 years ago! The trip was so lovely and we both benefitted from the 'time out' that we've pledged to go to the cinema once a month, and see if lovely GG will babysit... We've never had a night out yet without family babysitting, but GG is like family and I really think we'll benefit from some down time, our working lives are very busy and can be stressful - and seeing a movie is such a great escape.
Being a parent is such a joy - but so is being a wife and I don't want to loose the joy of that in the 'to do' list.
