Did a little GAL'ing last evening. Put the kids to bed, then left unannounced. Just went and ran a few errands, puttered around. Thought about going to a movie, but the timing on it would have had me walking out of the theater at 1:00 am. And I had a work breakfast this morning, so no movie.
Came back to the house a little after 10:00 pm. W was still up. I came in, set the alarm for the house, then went to my bedroom. Didn't speak or look at my W. Nothing to say.
Going out unannounced was VERY unusual for me. And I enjoyed it.
Yesterday W sent me an email (seems to be the way we communicate these days - pretty sad) saying she had a hair appointment Friday night at 8:00. So, this morning, as I was waiting with the kids at the bus stop (one of the highlights of my day), I asked the kids if they wanted to go out to dinner tonight.
After I put the kids on teh bus for school, I sent W an instant message to tell her that "I have decided to take the kids to dinner tonight. Please do not feed them dinner." I can see when she reads the message, and she did pretty soon after I sent it (which was a couple of hours ago). Thus far, no response. And I'm not waiting on one.
So, I will look for a fun place to take the kids to dinner tonight, and maybe something else with them - movie or something. Looking forward to my "date."
