Today was a good day. Normally, I post a bunch of proud mom stuff about something funny or cute my kid(s) said or did, but today, my post is actually going to be all about how great my day was without the kids. Simultaneously terrible, and not terrible.
1. My parents took the kids for the afternoon and overnight. It was lovely to have an afternoon AND an evening to ourselves. I was barely productive and I don't regret it one bit. It was an opportunity to laze about and decompress and I soaked in that responsibility-free time.
2. I watched two documentaries. I love me a good documentary. I watched Amy about Amy Winehouse. Such a predictably sad, but still interesting story. A tragedy, for sure.
We also watched Citizenfour, which is the story of Edward Snowden and the revelations he made back in 2013 regarding the NSA's complete invasion of the general public's privacy. It's one of those stories that seems like it should be fiction; sadly, it isn't.
I highly recommend giving both a watch, if you've got a couple free hours on your hands.
3. Even though we had a night without the kids, we didn't really do a "date night". We did run to Walmart and Shoppers before picking up our takeout food though.
As Jeff grabbed my hand in the parking lot on the way into Shoppers, he laughed and said, "Wow. We sure know how to do date night, don't we?!" I laughed and agreed but then said that, the truth is, that I wouldn't actually want to do it any other way. Running a few quick errands with him before heading back home to our warm house, the blanket on the couch, a good cup of tea, and some movie watching together is pretty close to perfection to me.
And that was Friday. Aren't I just full of excitement?
