Out of the comfort zone

Mar 18, 2016

It has been a long while since  my husband and I have gone out.  We have three kids, and our two boys have autism and ADHD.  Everything we do is for our three children.  Our "date nights" consisted of grocery shopping every other Friday.  Tonight we are going to Grand Rapids to see a comedy show.  It is so nice to do something different! We always worry about the kids first.  They reason I put this surgery off so long.  I wanted the kids to be old enough so if some complication arose, I wouldn't leave my husband with three kids on his own.  Now that I had the surgery, we are doing stuff together for ourselves.  It's great.  We used to only treat ourselves to food as a date.  I could rationalize that as acceptable.  I felt like dinner was a reward. Now we are exploring things that don't involve food, and I love it!
