miss_swampThree kids sleeping in the back of the van. I need to get them up soon, but right now I'm just enjoying the quiet.
My godmother was here over the weekend. She is lovely and we all had a great time. However, I realized after she left that due to relative visits, birthday parties, babysitting other kids, etc, I haven't had a real date night since June 16th. We've gone out after bedtime a couple of times, so I know I'm just spoiled by our usual 2 dates per month--but rushing through the circus that is bedtime is a rough way to start a date. James is, true to his own first-date warning, "a cheap bastard when it comes to food," so he probably hasn't minded not going out for dinner. But right now all I can think about is sitting with James in a London pub with a plate of fish and chips, a pint of cider, and no curfews or deadlines or hurries.
I've been lecturing my kids for 2 weeks now about not being spoiled. Maybe I should listen.
