Just Hanging Out On a Saturday Night

Along with my 2016 could kill us post and new attitude going into 2017 i decided we ( hubby and I were not coping) called my Mum and asked if she and Dad would take the kids for the weekend. I NEVER do this unless we have a pre arranged engagement but Hubby and I were starting to get at each other and I immediately called Mum and organised a break!

I am so grateful for the break and understand that some parents do not get this at all. My parents were those parents with only My parents and my brother being my family in Australia.

So currently we are just hanging out it is 8:30 on a Saturday night and we have just spent our hours a bit like we used to before kids. After dropping them off we had an errand to run down the shops then checked out some homewares in Kmart. I spent the morning rearranging the furniture in the house and I am after some new stuff. Then Hubby wanted to catch on old friend at a pub so we wandered over he had a drink and we sat around chatting for a bit.
Then we went to Ikea and looked at somethings in more detail than you get with having the kids around or a time limit for that matter. Then we headed off after looking at what we wanted to such as the area with all the kitchen gadgets and spatulas ( seriously I never get a chance to do that) and we had a productive visit!! Agreeing on stools, couch, and pots and pans we liked.

After we left it was around tea time, you know grown up tea time after 7 pm and not 5 pm where you all eat just to stop your kids being too tired. A proper tea time! Hubby said  "I could go for Mexican" "Nachos" I said longingly I haven't had nachos in so very very long. So we headed over to our local Mexican which is pretty good and ordered the large nachos and a litre of sangria to share. We finished the nachos but couldn't finish the incredibly potent but tasty sangria.

We have talked about our life, our kids and just laughed about stupid shit. It's been great. Now we are at home just chilling out, but our night isn't done yet! We bought tickets to the movies at 9:30 so guess which Mumma Bear is currently sipping on a coffee so she can stay awake for the 2 hour film!!

Sometimes it is so good just to hang out. It has been way too long for us and we really needed it!
Look after yourselves
