date night

i think that jon and i haven't been out alone since before christmas. so tonight, we did it. we got a sitter and took the plunge: dinner, childless.
sunny could care less about us leaving. a far cry from the separation anxiety he used to have, he now thinks that being alone with a teenage girl is heaven (i'm trying not to worry too much about what that says about his future years). he has been known to a)ask me to please leave now and b)cry when i come home. no kidding.
so i wasn't so worried about him as i was a little about sailor waking up randomly and screaming. but that didn't happen either, and although it took us a while to get out of the house (8) and a while longer to settle to dinner (8:45 before we found a place without a really long wait - since i neglected to make reservations), all in all it was a success. sometimes i put too much pressure on these date nights, especially since they happen so seldom now. but things seem to work best when i just relax and go with the flow.
and we arrived home, very full and tired (since it is now past 10, and i usually go to sleep immediately after sunn), to a pleasantly sleeping baby and toddler.
now if only
tomorrow wasn't daylight savings. i can't decide whether to really set my alarm an hour earlier (which puts us at FIVE) or to sleep in until my normal time - six, or seven daylight savings.
nah, i'd never get out the door on time. :)
