Date Night? What’s That?

Published by quadmama at 10:14 am under Relationships Edit This

images20.jpegI have never looked forward to a Saturday night more than tonight. The foursome is going to grandma and grandpa’s for a sleepover! Yes, for the first time since our daughters were born Hubby and I are having an entire night sans quads. WHOA!

What are we looking forward to the most? Here are some hints: it starts with the letter “s” and we just can’t get enough of it. That’s right: we’re going to sleep in!!! Sure, dinner and a movie will be nice, but it’s the sleeping past 7 a.m. that has really got me excited!

In all honesty, though, I think it’s going to be a little tough on Quadmama. This is the first time I will have been away from them overnight. I know, cut the cord, right? But surely every parent who has been away from their child/children for the night remembers the first time as a bit traumatizing. I’m going to enjoy myself, but I know I’ll worry: are they sleeping? are they having bad dreams? do they have their blankies?

It will be nice to reconnect a bit with Hubby without four little ones needing our constant attention… and by the time Sunday morning rolls around we should be refreshed and ready to take on the foursome once again.

    Congratulations Quadmama, enjoy the time. Even if you’re thinking about your girls the whole time, enjoy that too–it just shows what a good mother you are.

    Yay! The first free night is a little tough, but you need the time, seriously.

    Good for you!!! That was hilarious, that you would be looking forward to something that starts with the letter S! Yes, uninterrupted sleep is priceless! Enjoy!

    Unfortunately, date night was a bust. Shortly after publishing my post I got sick. Yep, leave it to me to ruin the one time in four years Hubby and I had great plans! Grandma and Grandpa were still willing to take the foursome, but what was the point if I was going to be in bed all day? We’re hoping to reschedule to next weekend, but I have to work, so it may be dinner and a movie only and no sleepover for the girls (and no sleeping in for us). Hubby and I are resigned to the fact that we simply have bad luck!

    Here’s something else that starts with “S.” SICK… :P
