A choir of bells are ringing out in heaven: Jared and I went on a date.
My parents watched Sadie and Jack while we went to see the new James Bond. It was the only thing that wasn't rated R and remotely interesting. I wasn't thrilled about it, and challenged the movie to win me over, which it did in the first 3 seconds. Its one of those movies with so much action that it doesn't matter if you can't completely follow the plot because you're so mesmerized by the hard-hitting action sequences.
Afterward, we went to Starbucks for apple cider and warm milk before picking up the babies. Sadie had a good time hanging with Papa J and Jammie. My poor dad works the night shift and usually sleeps till he goes, but with Sadie crawling on his head and chattering away, he didn't get his nap. He didn't seem to mind at all, but that's just Daddy. He'd do anything for the babies.
It was nice to feel like a person and not a job for 3 hours. Not that I don't like my job, (in fact I missed my babies and was delighted to see them smile at me when I returned) its just that its 24/7 and hard to remember that i'm more than milk, diapers, and "Elmo's World," when you don't get a break.

Nice, a date. I'd like one of those.
yay! breaks are great! and yeah, it's nice to know there is more to life than being just a mom. we all deserve a break every now and then! after all, with our job, we don't get "days off".
I wouldn't mind a date either. Good for y'all. It's always nice to leave the babies with someone that you know loves spending time with them and that they are glad to be with.
Glad you guys got a night out. I can't wait to see James Bond.
Aren't those fun? It feels a little like the good old days, huh? ;-) I'm glad you got a break!
Aww... love date nights. I'm sure they are even more special when you have kids. I got mine the day before my bday.
