Hello May, sleeplessness, and romance

Where did April go?? I felt like this month just flew by. May will be relatively quiet for us, finally. Our anniversary is coming up, but that's it for big days. June & July will be busy- we have to register our cars, and there are a lot of birthdays those months. So I'm glad we get a little down time this month before the craziness of the summer.

Since GA & my birthday weekend, I've just been bumming around here. The most eventful thing I've done is go to Costco, ha. But I don't mind. I like having down time, especially since the boys wake up so damn early. They go to bed around 7:30pm, but Hubby and I like our adult time after bed time, and we're usually up way past our own bed time.

It's a little crazy, this whole parenting thing. With jobs, we could leave them on the weekends and devote our time and energy to each other (except being on a boat...), but with the kids, it's a 24/7 job, which means the whole marriage thing has taken a backseat. Not good. But we're trying to carve out time together, even if it means being really tired the next day... and the next... and the next! Maybe when the kids move out in 20 years, we'll have some of that time back. :P

Perhaps this month will be the month of movie rentals, early bedtimes, and being romantic. After all, that's what started this whole parenting thing, right? It's a little tough considering Hubby's work schedule and volunteer work and weekend interests. We don't get a lot of time all together, let alone time just the two of us. But I guess the only thing we can do is try, right?

So, be prepared for May, the month of mushiness and insomnia.
