Caught a bug, and alone time.

Jan 15, 2005

I’m putting something up tonight so you guys won’t think I’ve dropped off the face of the earth. I managed to catch one of the many bugs going around this time of year. I’m feeling better but it’s taken a few days. I’d have felt better earlier, but I pushed it and tried to do too much as soon as I felt better. Typical me, you’d think I’d learn.
Any way, we’re getting ready to go to bed. Yes, at nine. We’ve started trying to go to bed when the kiddo goes to bed. One, during the week we have to get up as early as she does. Two, once the bedroom door is closed Jonathon and I get to have grown-up alone time. Yes, this does mean sex sometimes, but not always. Honest. By not letting ourselves get trapped into watching television after the kiddo is in bed (let’s face it most television if we never see it, we don’t really miss it, do we?) we get to talk, without interruption. All you parents with younger kids know what I mean. Sometimes Jonathon and I just take turns reading to eachother from the current book that we’re reading. Just alone time, the two of us, without the day biting at us. No work, no kids, no phonecalls, just us. Now, admittedly, there are nights when we stay up and watch a non-Trinity safe video, and there are two shows we TIVO, and watch later. Too late to stay up, and neither is Trinity safe. Fine, CSI, and House. There might be other goods ones out there, but we’d rather have our alone time than get hooked on something else.
We’re gong to bed now. Bye.
