Well, it had to happen.... my husband and I had not had dinner out alone or lunch out or even a meal together alone for about 8 weeks now... in fact, you could say we have not had minutes alone together in quite some time. If one daughter is sleeping, the other one wakes up, and so on - you can imagine our frustration that we have not had alone time. Of course, other factors get in the way too - work, illness, injury, and other duties in life. But, we knew it was time so we planned last week for a week of dates this week. Last week, my in-laws were in town and now, next week, my mother is arriving followed by the arrival of my dad a few days later so we knew our window was shrinking.
So, we planned it and executed our mission and low and behold- it was a huge success! I say huge success because you do not realize how precious these moments truly are until you are singing and excited about a lunch alone with your husband. We met Bagali's in Broomfield and it was nice. We beat the lunch crowd and had a nice sit down meal - we were able to talk and engage in conversation without the TV, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and the kids going ... it was great! I think it's really important to have some time alone - quiet time, to talk, and just engage in each other's lives without interruption and privacy. In any case, Operation "Lunch Out" was a success and with any luck, we will get to meet again this week and enjoy another date before our house dynamic gets mixed up yet again.
