A few weeks ago...

The scene from This is 40 when they're in the hotel being crazy together. They order room service and eat weed cookies? For an evening they are silly, irresponsible, and act the way they did before they had kids and big life stressors. Well, we didn't eat any pot, but we did the other things. We stayed in a hotel, ordered room service, drank like college students, danced in a bar (where no one else was dancing), and woke up in a fog. It was so much fun. We got to enjoy each other again without being on a diaper/feeding/sleeping schedule. Don't we look like fun parents :)

You can still do anything you want when you're a parent. But if you're a responsible human being-you don't. That's right, I'm going to say it. Good parents actually take care of and stay home with their kids on a regular basis; and good kids have parents who love each other more. MORE. I remember at one of our premarital counseling sessions with our priest he told us. When kids come into the marriage we have to remember that our marriage comes first. So it took us almost 6 months into parenthood to remember that and realize that we needed a refresher. So we did what all good new parents do. We boozed, brunched, laughed too loud, danced in a grungy bar, took a very blurry cab ride back to our hotel...and slept!

...and then I woke up at 6am to pump milk :-/
