Date Night

At my bridal shower my maid of honor had everyone write a piece of advice on an index card and made a cute little book for me to hold on to. Amongst the typical, laugh, love and learn speeches was this particular gem, "Have a date night every week, even if it is just a cocktail hour when the kids aren't home." The hubby and I used to do this but after the wedding date night sort of took a back seat for a few months. As a result I ended up feeling more and more disconnected from him. I would look at him, and love him still but wonder where that spark went. I told him that he needed to make more of an effort and wouldn't you know, he listened to me for once. Last weekend he took me on the most amazing date. A fancy dinner with lots of drinks and a concert. It was fantastic! I felt like I was on a first date, butterflies and all. We drank champagne, whispered dirty things in each others ears and made out like high schoolers. Then just as the band begins to play, I slide my hand up his leg and run my tongue seductively around his ear, I gaze over his shoulder and who do I see staring back at me? The parents of one of my students...that sure killed my buzz. I was mortified! She ended up striking up a conversation about how her child was doing in class too. They sat behind us the entire night, which of course meant we had to keep our hands off each other. So the moral of this story is that although date nights are a wonderful idea and can really amp up the love life...make sure you know whose sitting behind you.
