my perfect weekend

on wednesday evening i called trevor to see how much longer he would be golfing and about in tears told him, "oh and can you please plan on putting the kids to be when you get home because i need to leave or something. and by the way there is nothing for dinner so don't ask." 
thankfully he got the hint and came home, loaded the kids up for dinner at rupe's drive in {because naturally i was still in pajamas}, we ate as the kids watched a movie in the car, came home and he put them down for bed. 
on our drive i was wondering what the heck was wrong with me{besides the obvious reason that i am hormonal and 15 weeks pregnant}and i realized for 3 weeks straight trevor has had to work/be at his rotations. that means 3 weeks straight {including saturdays & sundays} of only having him home for an hour here or there in between things or sometimes gone all day until after the kids were in bed. 
i was worn down and worn out. 
don't get me wrong i am SOOOO grateful for all the hard work he puts in for our family to provide for us...i just needed some away from the kids time. 
so again i gave a not so subtle hint and said "i need a date night, like friday, and no kids allowed."

so after some plans fell through with a trip to burley for trevor to golf, he made new plans. 
amazing plans.
my incredible mother in law met us in pocatello for the evening to go out to dinner and then she took the kids home with her...to burley...for the entire weekend!!!


so i got two date nights, two days of sleeping in, and spent saturday and sunday completely alone watching conference. although doing it with my hubbs would have been the icing on the cake, i was completely content sitting on the couch and not doing anything for anyone for two days straight : )

so that my friends was my perfect weekend. 
now i am spiritually and physically uplifted and headed to go pick up my kiddos...because really, i truly did miss them.

  1. I know how you feel. Some day days/weeks are tough and there is nothing more refreshing than leaving the kids for a little while. I know when I get a break from my kids, I am usually a better mommy. Glad you got some time to yourself (and 2 date nights, lucky)!
