I too have become a different person and stepped away from saying yes and just doing to looking for every excuse to say no and why I can't do XYZ! I tried to set up GNO last year...every time I scheduled it something (besides me) got in the way and finally I felt the girl's (all kidless) we not really into it because no one called me out on rescheduling the last time and so I've never got around to it. I need it... I have promised myself the next time the grandparents are in town, Hubby and I are going out. If the Boy cries, the grandparent's can deal with it for an hour or two! So what if we get home and he might be awake and I will need to put him back to sleep...Hubby and I deserve it. Funky back in clothing...too funny. I was just telling my MIL that I use to love wearing wedges and now I find I have lost myself in a sea of flats and sneakers! I need to wear something that reminds me I use to dress cool... .-= Melisa´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.mommythisandthat.com/2010/05/screaming-and-crying-and-whining-oh-my.html" rel="nofollow">Screaming 'n' Crying 'n' Whining - Oh My.</a> =-.

While I am sure my hubs would just love some of that I think I will leave him thinking that only happens to married people in the movies for now. You know - car sex is part of the pre-engagement marketing plan ;) Woah Christiana baby steps baby.

BTW, one of my colleagues at the college recently got back into musical theater. She got her daughters involved in the community theater, and she and her husband work tech backstage. Soon, she was auditioning and landing parts. She says every day how glad she is to have that part of herself back. Looking forward to posts about that in your future. .-= Lynn´s last blog ..<a href="http://twinmommusings.blogspot.com/2010/05/day-care-is-it-risky-stop-guilt-already.html" rel="nofollow">Day Care -- Is It Risky?

They were at an event a good 2-hour drive away and in her tipsy state she decided to surprise him by demanding sex NOW as they were driving home. He pulled off to the side of the road somewhere and they did it in the back seat. She said it was actually pretty awesome because the spontaneity really helped both of them get into it. Just a thought for your date night! :) .-= Christiana´s last blog ..<a href="http://philosopherjagger.blogspot.com/2010/05/10-on-tuesday.html" rel="nofollow">10 on Tuesday</a> =-.
