We don't really have anything called a free evening. For H to take the Italian he will have to take the boys to scouts, run to his class, run back and pick them up. I will be taking the girls to cheering which overlaps scouts and the class. To have taken the dancing class we would have needed to do similar gyrations on Tuesday rather than Thursday but it is a slightly lighter day. With four with ADHD and poor academic skills in community college, one in 8th grade tackling geometry and other high level classes, one third grader with iffy math skills and iffy interest in school and the baby any time together at all is carefully planned and executed like a battle plan in a world war.
Silly, but true.
Oh yes, our "time together" per week is basically whatever we can grab at the end of the day - an hour or two on the couch in the evening and the occasional dinner out. Once in a while we go away over night but we haven't since I was pregnant. We are going away for a weekend in November to a marriage encounter weekend. Right now I'm thinkin "so what" about that - it's just me dragging him to something because I'm not happy. He is happy with the status quo. Maybe it is just MY problem.
