Having just celebrated my 40th birthday my darling Hubby took Friday & Monday off to extend the festivities. Saturday was my actual birthday and involved lots of lazing around, for me (sheer bliss) while he attended to the mundane household jobs and children.
Friday was my "Ladies Luncheon/Birthday Party" where he was the butler, apron and all. He is a great sport and did a fantastic job making sure that 13 woman were well fed and watered.
MONDAY that was the day we were going to have some special hubby and wife time with four children that is a rarity. Go to lunch, have a coffee and get reacquainted. ALONE!
But of course life has its own twists and turns! Ours being a six year old with a temperature and a sniffle.
Oh I so wanted to be a bad parent and ignore the warm flushed cheeks, red rimmed eyes and trail of tissues that was the wake behind Master 6.
I guess you know that you are growing up when things don't go the way you want to and you don't have a total melt down. I didn't today but I can't promise anything tomorrow.
We didn't get the day we planned BUT we made the best of it. After lunch Master 6 went for a sleep, which was more of a rest as no actual sleeping took place. But he stayed in his room mostly.
We watched a real no brainer DVD, "The Hangover". That was totally inappropriate but amusing at the same time.
It was fun! Not what we planned but we were together which always makes life a brighter place.
One day it will be just Hubby and me jetting around to wherever our fancy takes us...well thats the plan!
Blessings!
