This past Saturday, my parents took Charlotte for an overnight so that Mark and I could attend a wedding. We got all dressed up and headed to the reception at around 4.The wedding was for more of a distant friend, but it was fun catching up with others who we haven’t seen in awhile.
But here’s where things get pathetic…
By 7:30, pretty much right after dinner, I was feeling too tired to keep up small talk. I started hinting to the hubs that we should bolt and try to catch a movie or something. Finally, around 8:30… which is about the time the dancing started… Mark and I snuck out through the coat room. We sat in the car for a few minutes looking up movies to go see, but nothing started until 10 and we didn’t really feel like waiting around… AKA we’re old and were already exhausted.
So alas, we went home and WENT TO BED! Oy. I feel old.
It’s not too often that we have an overnight babysitter and how do us old as parents spend it? Snoozing by 9pm. I guess that’s what happens when you have a non-stop toddler running around… or at least that’s my story!
First of all, you are gorgeous!! 🙂
Secondly, I would be THE same way!!! Ha, ha. I am so exhausted by 8:30 too, and I can’t imagine staying up until 10 to catch a movie. So I have a feeling that the hubby and I would have done the same thing. 😉
I have yet to leave Brady overnight, but the hubby and I are starting to talk about how nice that would be. We’re thinking around Valentine’s Day… I am already sooooo excited! LOL!!
Thank you!! I do my hair/makeup about once a week, so I definitely haven’t been feeling any sort of gorgeous lately… So thank you 🙂 means a lot! As for a babyless overnight… DO IT!! It’s so good for you and baby!! And what better time than Valentine’s Day??
