I just got home from a date, not with my husband, but with one of my best girlfriends. Nick came home from work, and then sent me out for some much needed no-kid time. My friend and I had nachos and a couple drinks, and didn't stop talking for about three hours. We are actually neighbors, and so we see each other quite a bit. But on those occasions, our children are always with us, and since they range in age from two and a half to almost six, we don't get in a lot of quality time ourselves. Tonight, I kept marveling that we were able to finish conversations, trains of thought, and even just sentences, without being interrupted. Yes, we talked about our kids, but we also talked about a million other things. I really needed that time to connect with another woman, one who understood exactly what I was feeling and dealing with every day. It was incredibly beautiful, and I hope we do it again soon.
