Special Time With Hubby

[littlemommy]

DH and I have always been great about communication. If one of us feels we need to do something special one night, we make it happen. We always tell each other how we feel about everything. We are celebrating our 2nd year of marriage, and our 7th year as a couple.

If we have a few evenings where we don't see each other, we make the next one count. We usually have a date night every week.

How does everyone fit their husband into their busy, busy schedules?

He's home 3-4 full days a week, and currently playing the role of "Jungle Jim" for afternoon storytime.. They are hanging off his shirt-tail, now...::

He was here in the playroom to snap photos of them painting because things go badly fast if I pick up the camera during art.... I am now finished wiping up and letting them keep him occupied...

He was on shift last night, so he is being a bit clingy today....:: Shhh.... He does not want to lose him Man Card.

Hubby still makes my heart race after 30 years of marriage.

He's the stay at home dad (retired Air Force) with out two youngest daughters (14 and 16) and I work at our day care with one of our sons. We split the load as equally as we can. I leave home at 5AM and don't get home until about 6:30 PM. It's a long day.....But I get home to a spotless house and dinner on the table. My daughters always do the dishes. Hubby takes care of errands, appointments etc. It makes life so much easier. Friday night is date night and we go out to eat or a movie or a drive up the canyon or something. Sometimes we just lock ourselves in our room and watch a video and eat chocolate! But it's OUR time. Our son (he's 26) usually comes over to our house (he lives at our day care house) and hangs out with his sisters and brings pizza for them and however many friends they have over!

Saturday is my time with the girls (dad gets them all week!) and my son and hubby have their time together.

Then Sunday is family time. After church we turn off the phone and nobody comes over and we spend the day together. It's nice and relaxing and I cook a big Sunday dinner as my hubby and daughters do most of the mid-week cooking. We usually end up all on the couch watching a family movie in the evening. I feel refreshed and ready for Monday's chaos again!

My husband and I have date night every Fri. Sometimes we go out somewhere, other times one of us makes something special for dinner and we stay home and watch a movie together.

Everynight we put the LO to bed 7:30-8 (and I am willing to sacrafice sleeping in) to have time w/o kids to spend together.

I will not take dck's that want hours later or earlier than my husband works. Period. I know what it would do to our marriage/his sanity to work all day, and have dck when he comes home. Money is not that important to either one of us.

Also, once a month we send my son to grandmas for a Fri night and all day sat away.
