Quoting The Blissful Six:" Fun!! I hope you find some one!!"

I'm going to call my sister and keep my fingers crossed. If not her, then I have someone else in mind. I'd love to have a full night away, it would be our very first ever since they were born.

Dh and I haven't been out alone since before J was born.

We haven't been out alone either since DD1 was a year old. Sooo... over 3 years, lol. We're even taking the kids with us on our honeymoon later this month.   Lol. Wish we had people we could trust to watch the kids.

Yeah..DH doesn't trust many people either to watch our youngest.

Not at all? Girl.

We've been out alone, our church offers monthly date nights for couples. We've just never been away from them for a night. I'd go nuts if I didn't have my husband time.

That's so nice. I should have taken a date night before Scarlett was born. But it was so chaotic right before the hospitalization. Now it'll be forever before I will feel comfortable leaving her

Dh is afraid that because of her temperment, that she wouldn't be treated right. She's quite high needs.
I trust her God parents but they have an over active 3 year old that has accidentally hurt J before(nothing horrible), but he's afraid she'd really get hurt if we weren't there to watch them.   I think she'd be fine.
My SIL is supposed to watch her soon so we can go to dinner. I really hope so...we definitely need our couple time.

Do you do at-home dates? I have a huge list if you guys want me to post them. I've felt very convicted recently on making sure I'm keeping DH first, saving energy for him, etc.

I would like that. The kids never let us have alone time   I tried to snuggle on the couch while we watched a family movie tonight and Lylian tried to squeeze me out. I just get so frustrated. She always does that.
