Date Night Without a Date

As tradition demands, Friday rolled around which is date night. My dad has been keeping our kids every Friday ever since we had our first one 10 years ago. Well, Amy has been under the weather all week with a sore throat and wasn't feeling much like a date. She decided to stay home while I took the kids to dad's and she could rest up while we were out of the house. I also had the bright idea to ditch my 5 to 10 Dr Peppers a day. Let me just tell you what I did on my date night.

• I ate with the Freemans and had an awesome prime rib.
• I got $100 worth of gas...ouch
  
• I went to the mall.
• I ran into Amy's cousin's wife Jo and her daughter Madison.
  
• I wandered from store to store with no real purpose.
  
• I ran into the Freemans.
  
• I wandered to more stores.
  
• I stared at a pair of shoes that were on sale....
  
• I didn't buy them.
• If Dr Pepper was the free gift with purchase then I would have bought them.
  
• I returned to my car
  

I did all that and still had an hour and a half of date night left. I returned early to my dad's house to finish out my date night asleep in his recliner.... sigh.

All that to say, date night without my life's love was miserable( except for dinner with the Freemans :) ) I will probably not be doing that again alone. Get better babe!

Oh... I didn't have a Dr Pepper all day.
