Weekends used to be about dining out, seeing friends, running errands, and getting my own stuff done. These days it's about logging as many hours with my daughter as possible. Errands get done here and there, but only one at a time. All day Friday I've been planning to spend every moment I can with her. One of my co-workers said she wouldn't have pegged me for one of "those." Um, those? She was referring to the type who wants to stay in and have a quiet night with baby and hubby, on a Friday. When asked to elaborate, she said she was surprised how I've adapted to being a mom so well. I went from going out and living the life, to staying in with my family. I just miss her so much when I'm working all week; I need to make up for it on the weekend. Another mom co-worker said a time will come that I won't miss her that much. She was hinting that one day she will drive me crazy and I'll crave some time away. Can I imagine that now? No.
But, it's important to keep things balanced. My sweet sweet husband has been asking me to go to a movie for weeks now, and I've finally agreed! We have a date night scheduled for tomorrow night with dinner and a movie. Though it is going to be hard to leave her when I know I don't have to, we're going to have a great time. Next on the list is to schedule a massage; it's been burning a hole in my wallet since Christmas. There are a lot of other things I want to/should do, but I'm not going to bite off too much at once. Baby steps.
