Hubby and I don't get much of a chance to go on dates together. We either don't have the money or don't have someone to babysit. Well, this weekend we are going on a date. His cousin offered to take us out to eat for his birthday. We have a babysitter lined up and I hope we have a good time!
What do you have planned for the weekend?

@Shellyann36 You and your hubby can make another date night with just the two of you.

We had a fairly relaxing weekend. It has been super warm here lately like high 80s low to mid 90s so that does not help anything. Sunday we spent time hanging out with some of our rock painting friends painting rocks and having fun. It was inside with Air conditioning so that was a plus. Then we did some Uber Eats in the evening for some extra $$, and it was a nice day,

I went out on a nice date Friday night to an upscale Mexican restaurant, and the added bonus was that we were there during happy hour so our margaritas were 2-for-1. The only bad part about that was that I had to get up for work on Saturday at 4:30am for an event I was managing. I didn't let that stop me from having fun, it just meant I did not get any sleep on Friday!

@Courage7 Why do you not go out? It can be very fun but expensive and even aggravating when dealing with the heat we have going on.

@Courage7 Money is our issue as well. I hope your situation changes and you can go out.

@Shellyann36 Money is the main issue, also a bit of severe social anxiety.

@porwest We get by. When hubby worked at night and we could go on lunch dates it was much easier for us financially and we enjoyed a date every week.

I understand that all too well! I never felt safe when my kids were small leaving them with anyone so we could go out. The past 5 years with my boyfriend I think we have gone out once a year. He works a lot and until the last year our kids weren't old enough to be left home and a babysitter is expensive! I hope you and your husband will have an amazing time together for your date! I hope to catch a post about it or an update here after

@shaggin It didn't happen and the weekend sucked. I posted about it. Babysitters are expensive and finding someone that you can trust is not easy.

@bunnybon7 we did celebrate his birthday here at home on the day of his birthday. His cousin was just attempting to be kind, I guess.

A date night for you and your husband sounds wonderful! We've been married 52 years and we still have date night. Of course, it's much easier now that the kids are grown.

Enjoy your date night with your hubby. As for me, I don’t have a plan yet for the weekend. But once I have accomplished all my errands tomorrow, probably I’d go out and try a new restaurant over the weekend. It’s a Korean restaurant that serves authentic Korean cuisine.
