due to a HUGE lack of energy, our date nights got pushed back. there really is no excuse for not dating each other (making time for each other is the whole point) but it seriously hasn't entered our mind. we're lucky if we get 10 minutes alone, let alone a whole date! when we can get quiet time, it's never anything super exciting so i have felt that it wasn't blog worthy. for example, last night we watched 'pirate radio' but not without about 3 interruptions from baby needing to eat and be put back to sleep. oh, and liam sneaking out of his room.
this is apparently a phase in having children. so i've been told from mommy friends. where you don't have a single moment to yourself and everything is screaming for your attention and you just want to lock yourself in the bathroom and pull your hair-out and cry. i'm soooo there! but i am determined to win this daily battle and especially when it comes to my marriage. we have to make 'us' a priority again. our kids are taking over!
so hopefully, my friends, we will once again join you in this wonderful dating community. we will attempt for a date this week. even if it is an hour. and hopefully it will be blog worthy.

It is never a failure unless you give up!! :) And any moment shared with the one that you love with all of your heart is blog worthy. :) Remember that! It is not the big moments that are so important, even though they are nice once in awhile, it is taking the time to recognize your love for one another in every moment.
I completely understand! Our kids are just SO trying at bedtime. We have twin, almost 6 year old, daughters and a 2 1/2 year old daughter. The twins HATE to go to sleep. Our youngest requires physio treatment each night before bed and so by the time all three are asleep we feel like we have got nothing left for each other. We have spent a lot of our dates flopped on the couch watching DVDs or simply trying to catch up with each other. And even falling asleep. Life is ups and downs. As long as you can be together in your exhausted state... that counts as a date in my mind! Totally blog about it. Good to know we are not the only ones!
