Day Twenty-Five, 2025

 A Little Out of the Ordinary

For Christmas our oldest and her boyfriend purchased us a night away to see a comedy show and tonight is the event!

We never do these things.  Date night = Guac (where I get the nachos that might kill me) on Friday's or grocery shopping & Costco is not romantic, even if they sell booze and underwear. We used to go to concerts frequently or the movies before the kids but Kids = more love & less splurge money so we've gotten used to hanging around the house & J being asleep on the couch by about 9pm.

The show tonight starts at 9pm so we should probably schedule a nap.  I am now so old now that I think of naps for myself instead of just pre-game and see the dawn. 

So I type this hoping that our conversation is about things other than the kids, that we build our love story memory bank, that trusting the kids won't throw a party is true & that they will sleep while I 'party' for once. 

So excitedly I sign off, it's time to hit the road.
