Making time for us

Sometimes it feels like there is never enough time for you to spend with your loved ones. I have 2 jobs not counting being a mom. I like to spend most of my free time playing with the Cupcake. Giving her as much attention as I possibly can. Unfortunately, that kind of leaves Bubba in the dark. We try really hard to squeeze in a few minutes here and there for kisses, hugs, spanks, and what nots. But I tell you it's hard, very very hard.

I am so lucky to have such a great partner. He really does understand that it's hard being a parent. He does so much for us that he too just goes with the flow and tries to just give everything he has in regards to time to the Cupcake. So it's nice that we are on the same page there. But we miss "us". We miss getting to go out just "us" with no Cupcake, no sippy cups, no diapers, no cranky screaming baby in the car seat.

Lately we have really been lacking in that department. Now, you might think we don't go out because we have no money or we don't have a babysitter. But honestly, we have both, we just prefer to spend our us time all together as a family.We rarely want to give "us" that time to just enjoy ourselves sans baby.

So...we decided we needed to go out just the two of us. The movie Ted was already in theaters and that's one movie we both wanted to go see. So we made it a date. We went to dinner and Bubbae couldn't have picked a better place. We went to Benihana for dinner. I am not a big fan of Chinese/Japanese food but this place sounded good that day. I am never satisfied when I go there but that night everything was perfect.

What I enjoy about dining there is the little show the cooks do while they are preparing your food. This cook made an egg man. I thought that was pretty cool.

This is us waiting on dinner. Can you tell we are excited!!!

 (Don't mind the xmas lights...Bubba's dad refuses to take them down who knows why)

Before we took off on our date. I felt taller than him even though he swears I wasn't and he was right. Even though I am wearing 5 inch wedges. By the way I absolutely love these shoes. If you are wondering where they are from, they are from GUESS. I got them on sale about 5 months ago for $30.

41,42,43 And 44. I suck

I suck at keeping up with this project 365. But I do make up for them do yea. So I guess there are a lot more people reading my blog than what I thought. I actually started this to be more like a journal, something the cupcake can later read. Now it is still my journal but I am letting Others see what goes on in my head and what my days are like. First it was just friends reading this but now it's a little more than just friends, and that's okay. I have nothing to hide. I don't know what I am trying to say with this do on with the recap of our weekend.

Thursday my family spent some time with the Cupcake. Faby came over also to spend some time with her. She got to read her a story too. Toy'sRUs sent the Cupcake a birthday card and as you can see she wouldn't let go of it. She was attached to it for about a good 20 minutes.

Saturday the Bubba and I had a date night. We were lucky to have grandma watch her while we went off on our date. We went to go see "The Vow" which we both enjoyed. We were also going to go to dinner but we had a pretty big lunch and I was still full so I decided to bake cookies instead. We enjoyed some walnut chocolate chip cookies with wine for myself and beer for the Bubba.

Sunday we had to give the cupcake a bath because she got pretty dirty at grandmas house and during breakfast she decided to get real messy. She loves bath time.

And this, this was from this morning. She always  has crazy hair in the morning and I love it. She was excited watching Choo Choo Soul this morning. I am not a fan of Genevive.

Tonight I am going to attempt to do some oreo truffles, wish me luck.
