Tonight is date night! I am super excited. I love my kids more than my own life, but I look forward to every other Wednesday when my husband and I get to go out. First, it's dinner just the two of us, then bowling with a group of friends and then we are all going to the Stardust...a karaoke bar! We went a couple of weeks ago and had a blast! Neither of us sing, but it is fun to watch the other singers. It is such a hole in the wall, that most of the people that sing are regulars and they are very good!!!
Another very exciting thing is that I think I have found a babysitter so that I wont have to rely on my sister any longer. Granted, my sister is free...but you know that old saying, "you get what you pay for!" I am exaggerated a little but it is really hard for me, because I love my sister but I dont agree with the choices she makes...and I dont trust her to make the right decisions while she is with my kids. I know that sounds harsh...but how would you feel if your babysitter put your two kids in the car, drove them to the next town, got high, and probably had a few glasses of wine, then put them back in the car and drove them home....then completely lied and said that the kids were in bed around 9....Now, to her credit, I do not know with absolute certainty that she got high, or had anything to drink...but I know the girls that she went to hang out with and that is what they do on a daily basis...and she didn't say anything, so why hide something if you didn't do anything wrong??? Anywho, the girl that will be babysitting is 21, she went to school with my little sister. She is a very sweet young girl that I have known for a little over 10 years. I know her family. She is a youth leader at our church. She is in school and lives at home, and babysits to make money. I am just hoping that she has availability! So fingers crossed!

She sounds like the ideal babysitter! I wish Travis and I could find someone like that. So far we've been relying on his boss' wife. She is GREAT with Aiden and LOVES spending time with him, but she has a life too. Sometimes she's not available. And then there's that ever-present nagging feeling of guilt because I've left the "burden" of my child on someone else. Sometimes that's hard for me to let go of while we are on our date, which can put a damper on things.
We are going on a date Friday for our 4-year anniversary. Wow!
