I had high hopes for married life. We had all kind of plans when we were just dating. Things we wanted to do and places we wanted to go and then we got married. At at the beginning of our marriage we had so much fun. Eating out, experiencing new things and then PK came and those Friday night visits to our favorite restaurants started to become few and far in between. And then the last two babies came and there were no more Friday nights. Our extra money after the last 3 kids came were spent on Diapers and milk. It was a wonderful moment when Port turned 3 last Summer . It meant no more babies, no diapers, no formula and date money!
But then as the kids were getting older there was more that they wanted to do . And then one day my oldest daughter told me she had friends. How dare she become social and started having friends. And with friends , there were birthday parties, play dates and pretty soon we stopped thinking about our plans for the week end and started planning around the kids. Last week after hours and doing things specifically for the kids and my husband , I wanted a night of rest. And then my 16 year pops into my room at 8 looking for keys to go hang out with friends. I looked at my husband who was already in bed and said …we are too young, we have to do something with our life.
Didn’t you imagine life would be so differently after marriage. We travel a lot and spend a lot of time exploring other cities its just when we are home that we try our best to be in bed by 8:30 PM . Isn’t that the craziest thing. And another thing in this adult life of marriage , we count up all the costs. We calculate everything from what we eat to how much we eat. We have adult bills. Why would we pay $65 for a night at the movies in a public place, where we cannot lay down and relax and we are consistently worried about those that enter the movie. Which brings me to the fact of wondering why are the movies that expensive? Fun should be FREE!
This year we have planned 17 dates in 2017, so far we have managed to have one with a tag a long but it counts right. Hopefully we will balance dates, play dates, birthday parties and sporting events to have that alone time with us. Pray for us …
