For those of you with child(ren), know life can be hectic and full, very full. And if you add an outside job to the mix, it gets fuller – at least the time planning and coordinating everything seems to become unmanageable. It’s no wonder we (parents) often feel exhausted, neglected, worn out and frayed around the edges. And our personal relationship can feel like, “What relationship?”
Well, it had been long enough...8 months later, Deona and I went on a date. Hooray! After dropping Everett off with aunt Jackie, Deona and I drove to our favorite restaurant. We were, however sad, as this was the first time we would be leaving our baby boy for a date. :( Well, we pressed on and drove to Joe T.Garcia's. We had a delicious dinner, however seeing two babies at two adjacent tables, made us sad (again). I know, i know, we're pathetic.
After dinner, we drove around our old neighborhood and happened upon our friend, Courtney's house. Courtney & her husband, Chris are due with baby #1, any day now. Their nursery is decorated so cute with safari animals. Courtney's mom and dad were there, hanging up window treatments and letters on the wall. With all the talk about pregnancy, delivering, and seeing all her baby stuff, made me miss Ev even more! UGH!!! Does it get any easier???!!!
Two hours later, we headed back to aunt Jackie's. When we walked in, Ev was fast asleep, snuggled in a comfortable comforter on the floor. He looked so sweet. Aunt Jackie said Ev did experience some separation anxiety, however he quickly forgot how upset he was, once they headed out for a walk.
Deona and I have decided we'll be having date nights once a month. We're both looking forward to the day that it become easier for us to leave our baby boy with a sitter, so we can truly enjoy ourselves.
I am first to admit...I've become a co-dependent mom. :(
sweet baby boy.
