Imagine

The CFO and I had a date last night. It was a special date. The stars were in alignment, the Karma was good, the Angels were singing...WE HAD NO CHILDREN AT HOME!

Imagine.

The boys were at camp, and Butterfly was at Aussie Kim's.

We were free. To go. To do. Whatever we wanted.

Imagine.

We planned to get an early start, but events conspired against us. But that was okay! We had no children at home awaiting our return.

Imagine!!!!

I wanted to see a movie. Nothing animated. Or involving mutant space creatures. Or American Girl dolls. We ate out and hurried to the theater. On impulse I called to check on Butterfly and to let Kim know the phone would be off for a spell.

She was just about to call me. Butterfly was in the midst of a migraine attack. We needed to pick her sweet little self up and tuck her into bed.

Ah, well. There will be other nights when the stars align.

I imagine.

Congrats! The Engineering Geek and I also had a night to ourselves this week. We actually went out to dinner at a place with cloth tableclothes! Imagine that!

Cloth tableclothes?!? We didn't rate that! :)

Imagine...Not sure my creative juices are up to that just yet. My big break involving no children also involved a week long stay in the hospital.

I'd prefer the screaming and whining. Most days.
