I was supposed to be jamming to Pitbull tonight, just doing something different with my husband, it was in an outside park, with other artists on the bill, I was excited to step out of mommy mode. I recently started making a list of babysitters that I can call last minute, especially for my Doula Services, if my husband is unavailable. This Thursday I got a chance to test it out, a client called me last minute to do a Yoga session, I reached out to three of my babysitters, and one came through. I felt so free, now that my husband and I are getting busier, this option is a new possibility for me to be on the go like I love.
It was so cool, my babysitter came over for an hour, my older kids were watching a show, she played so awesome with my baby, and I had a great session with my client. I originally wanted to bring them all to a park to play, but the baby was napping right up until she came. Then last Tuesday my husband was out of town, and I figured out a babysitter, and it was also a work meeting while we had dinner with the kids, then I dropped them off at a park nearby, it was perfect.
So on our anniversary my husband's friend was out our house while the kids were sleeping, and we had our amazing dinner. Tonight his friend was unavailable, my husband had asked me to wait to get the tickets, and I waited too long, it was too late to get the groupon, and it was a bit annoying. I knew that if I had just gotten the tickets in advance, I would have figured it out. I also know that my husband is probably happy we didn't spend the money, and once the kids were asleep enjoyed watching a show that we both like. LIFE.
I used to be into concerts during my high school years, then mostly big festivals like lolapalooza, and now the prices are so ridiculous, and my life before marriage has been quite a carnival, I really do not crave going to a show. Tonight sounded really fun, but I guess it was not in my cards. Incidentally yesterday I took my kids to the downtown splash pad again on the metro, as we were walking to it, my daughter walked in front of me and hurt my second toe on my right foot, which is longer than my big toe. Today I stubbed it again, and it really hurt, probably would not have been fun to be out tonight. I hurt that toe really bad before, I was just pregnant with my daughter, and was very ambitious doing a Yoga pose, and landed on that toe!!! It totally became black and blue, I usually would have just waited it out, but went to the emergency room just to make sure it didn't affect the pregnancy in any way. They told me IT'S NOT AN IMPORTANT TOE, and gave me some tape to put the big toe together with it, and it helps it heal on its own, $300 later - LAME.
Oh the stories of our lives, my whole point of the blog today was about really planning a night out, and not leaving things to just work out. I always keep reading about date nights, and we really have to incorporate it. Luckily our birthday marathon has begun, our son is turning five in mid September, but his Hebrew birthday is tomorrow, and he wants his party at his school which starts in two weeks. We are going to see airplanes, and do some other fun stuff before the school party. I figure why not celebrate the whole month through. My birthday is in October, my husband's birthday is in November, its just non stop from our August anniversary - Woo Hoo.
Celebrate My Friends,
Even if that is the only time you splurge and indulge,
Makes it all the sweeter,
