spend more time with my husband

He’s been doing really well with family outings – playing mini golf, going to the zoo, going out to eat – he used to balk at those kinds of things but I think he realizes now how important it is to the kids. Unfortunately we never go out as a couple, just the two of us. The thing is he works really, really hard to take care of all of us. He has a business and moonlights to make some extra. Well, he’s decided he wants to make more money so he has scheduled every evening at the second job. EVERY EVENING, except for Wednesday, when he keeps later hours at his office. Half the time I’m asleep before he gets home and this month I missed my class reunion because he was working that night and I didn’t want to go alone. So I’m putting my foot down and insisting on ONE NIGHT a month where we can go out together and have fun doing ADULT things that we enjoy.

He surprised us with a day trip to a little tourist town this past weekend, which was fun for the whole family.
