MY MOTHER IN LAW IS KEEPING ALYSIA TONIGHT SO THAT SHAWN AND I CAN GO OUT!!!!! I am going to have me quite a few Margarita's and Long Island Ice Tea's. . . and some Kaluha and lots of alcohol. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not usually this excited to drink, but the last time I went out was 2 years ago, my last glass of wine was 10 months ago. I'm in the mood for some Coke and rum. I can't wait to taste the Banana Daquari, and mmmm.... i missed it. I feel like such a bitch because I was upset with Shawn for drinking. But, I'm looking at it like this, Shawn and I were told today to go out, just us, and spend time together like we did before I was pregnant, before I was serious with my job, and before Shawn was deployed. Well, this is what we used to do. Not a lot mind you, but we did do it. I went to the doctor today, and he said that I was healing up quite nicely. I want to drink, and I want to dance, and i. . . never mind that last thing.

I haven't been this excited since. . . since . . . i can't even remember the last time I was this excited. I got a new outfit today, I think that Shawn and I are going to feel a lot better after tonight, and I realize that drinking doesn't solve any problems, but we'll be spending time together, not getting too drunk. Just being the younger, carefree version of our selves for one night .What could that hurt? Anyways. . .

Got a feeling we all know what that last thing is, anyhow! Hope you two have a WONDERFUL night tonight....you both deserve it. Have fun, get a little wild and crazy, and just enjoy each other!!

I have a feeling you know what that last thing is too. I am also hoping we have a wonderful night, I really really miss going out with him. Tina offered to keep Alysia once or twice a week for Shawn and I to get a full night's sleep and to just be together. I'm so excited. When Shawn and I are out together, and he's had a little bit too much to drink, he gets a little crazy, and um, I'm hoping he tries to dance (Shawn can't dance worth shit. Its so funny when he attempts too, and 9 times out of 10 he makes a fool out of himself. I LOVE IT! I think its cute when he embarrases himself but if you'd ask him, he'd also tell you that I embarress myself quite a bit too, and he likes it when I do.) or something funny. I need something to write about for tomorrow.

I'm so jealous - in 7months Elana has been baby-sat 3times, and only once was she awake. The first time she was about 6weeks old my parents in law had her at their house while we went to a movie - we didn't see a movie and opted for lunch instead and Elana SLEPT the whole 3hours we were away.

Thesecond time she was about 4months old and Rin & Andy brought their two kids over to our house after Elana had already gone to bed and a mutual friend Megan sat for the 3kids while we (Rin, Andy, Nick & I) saw Mona Lisa Smile. Again Elana slept the whole time.

The third time was 3weeks ago - my parents in law came to my house after Elana had gone to bed so I could go to Rin's 21st (Nick had an exam and was meeting me there). Elana woke up, and instead of feeding her in the dark of her bedroom and putting her back to bed they fed her outi n the lounge room with the tv and the lights and let her play for a bit. So when they put her back to bed she refused to sleep - and they couldn't let their grandchild cry- we came home at 10:30 and they left and Elana went back to SLEEP at Midnight. Nick and I sat on the couch for 20minutes after we walked out of her room for the last time because he said "if we move she'll wake up while we're sitting here she's still asleep"

from your hubby's blog, it sounds like you had fun...
on Jul 02, 2004
yeah, we did. I think we had a little bit too much, but what the hell, You only live once.
It was the first time I'd been out for 2 years, so I think it was expected of me to get a little crazy.

You got that right! I think it's good for people to get good and drunk every once in while, as long as it's done responsibily and doesn't become a crutch.

yep. we won't be doing this every week. I think we spent over $100 dollars just on drinks. But I don't think I even drank all mine. I set them down and forget about them then when i come back to my seat, I'm never sure what I had and if someone did anything to it. my head really hurts

I think next week we are going to go to church. . . lol, we need to ask forgiveness for our actions. I'm just kidding, we'll probably just go for a long drive. AKA going to make out point. wait, i don't even think there is a make out point around here. man. . . we'll just go to some lake and have some fun. lol. . . fun is good. . . .heheh
