Well.\u00a0 Well.\u00a0 Well.<\/p>\n
So the kids decided, after all, that a Disney Post Christmas extravaganza was in order.\u00a0 We got back from delivering them to my parents last night.\u00a0 I must admit, the drive home felt like I was reversing some kind of law of physics – the fact that I was driving in the opposite direction from my kids was the most unnatural feeling I have ever had.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But they are knee deep, as we speak, in Little Mermaid and Buzz Lightyear heaven.\u00a0 I talked to them this morning and they sound like they are having a blast!\u00a0 Which was exactly what I needed to hear – it is hard to sleep without them in the house.\u00a0 But, the fact that they are having an adventure with their Nana and Papa eases my mind greatly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So then.\u00a0 What to do?\u00a0 John and I are all alone – we slept in and ate breakfast in bed.\u00a0 So many things that we could do with the rest of our holiday but, really, we both seem content to be home and dig into one another.\u00a0 Since I was a single mom when we met, it is always painfully obvious to us – when we get a chance to be alone – that we never actually dated, in the traditional sense of the word.\u00a0 We never got to indulge in one another the way other couples do.\u00a0 Sure.\u00a0 We had a good time, but always with the pretense that there was a sweet boy at home waiting for me (which meant our evening usually ended at 10pm).\u00a0 We never felt slighted, it’s just that at times like these, we really realize that we never got to really revel in that new relationship splendor.\u00a0 And, now that my mind is at ease with the kids being safe and happy, we are able to.\u00a0 We are able to enjoy what we really love about each other and remember why it is we fell in love.\u00a0 I hope you’ll excuse me this week if I end up being syrupy sweet about everything, but I have a feeling I won’t be able to stop myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
