Dinner and a date

Tonight hubby and I are going out on a date. We haven't been out on a date in months. We went out when she was 3 weeks old and also in Hawaii when we had my mother in law to baby sit, but a real date with no baby.....it has been several months. We used to do a date night once a week. We would switch weeks, taking turns planning the date.

Now days it is hard to leave the baby, we are tired, getting a sitter can be difficult....the list goes on and on. Thankfully last summer I bought season tickets to the Performing Arts Center, picking 4 plays to watch during the year. I knew these would force us to get out, and I am a firm believer that parents with a healthy adult life away from their children make better parents....life is after all about balance. So we try.

Tonight we head to the play, A Raisin in the Sun, and dinner. We have two excellent sitters that we use on a regular basis and luckily one was free for tonight.

I am thankful because I need a break. This week has been an emotional roller coaster for a variety of reasons and I will be happy to just enjoy my husbands company and a night out.

All on Friday the 13th! In Honor of the dreaded day of bad luck, check out these food superstition here. I always think superstitions are interesting. I grew up around a lot of cowboys and laying a hat flat on the bed is bad luck to them. My dear friend Sarah, would always go around taking my shoes of tables because this is bad luck to her Danish culture. I personally think it is bad luck to try to pet bears...but that is just me.

So happy Friday people! Enjoy.

Cheers
