I think I have set a recent record by going out to for dinner 3 weeks in a row! As I have probably mentioned before, I realized back in September that even with our crazy schedules I can put the kids to bed, stick the baby monitor in our bedroom where Derek is sleeping, and go out to meet friends for dinner. I can be out the door by 8:00, and if it's a night that Derek works I just need to be home by 10:45 in order for him to head out.
I've taken full advantage of the nice weather and having friends whose kids are also a little older. It's tough to sneak out for dinner when you're still getting up for middle of the night feedings, but now that our kids sleep through the night I have a few takers for these fun Friday night dinners. Three weeks ago I met up with Teresa, mom to Josie & Theo. We had burgers and martinis at the Met Bar & Grill. Last Friday I met Wendy, mom to Sydney & Ivy, at the Cheesecake Factory. Last night I had dinner at an AWESOME hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant called El Potro in Union Square. Sam & Carrie are part of the DMC twin moms I work with. Carrie's babies are only 3 months old so Sam & I were glad to give her some advice and support over margaritas & mexican food last night.
It's so great that I've been able to resume this social part of my life after a long hiatus. Now if Derek & I can just get on track with some non-kid husband/wife time...
