Today I'm excited to be spending the day with my husband, minus our three precious children. My big girls are at school and I've hired a babysitter. So what sort of romantic, fun-filled day is in store for me? A picnic lunch, or maybe a corner table at our favorite restaurant? Nope, a trip to the feed mill in Demopolis to pick up horse feed! And the truth is, I wasn't kidding about being excited. From the time we met, I have always enjoyed spending time with my husband. Talking to him is like a sport. He always makes me laugh, and we are forever discussing our next business adventure. (No, that wasn't a typo, any business venture we are involved in always seems to turn into an adventure, some good and some not so good.)
Having a few hours to ourselves to discuss things we enjoy without someone yelling, "Mama, mama, mommy, ma, ma, mother, mommy" is truly blissful. Sometimes I think that my lack of ability to focus on the task at hand is less a product of "mommy brain" and more like the result of being interrupted constantly by short people. Perhaps I can't concentrate for more than five seconds because I'm never allowed to try! At any rate, the babysitting money is definitely well spent!
It's so important to be married to someone you can talk to. I feel certain we will not solve a single one of the world's problems today, but we'll definitely have a laugh and reconnect with one another. And maybe, just maybe, we'll figure out something monumental, like who let the dogs out.
