Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Bonnie- I'm so glad you and had a good time. And Patty too, of course. One hour a week is a reasonable expectation -- and should do wonders for you both. Now... if I could get DJ to do the same. We've come up with plans like that along the way, but never followed up on them. Maybe they were too ambitious -- datenight type things. Perhaps an hour a week with no stressful talk makes more sense. Michele W Aubrie's mom 6 yrs and 13 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Bonnie, Good for you and . Last summer, when moved 45 miles away, I started planning a Saturday Night Date for Doug and I , alone. We too have enjoyed it and needed, non stress time. Now on Wed. Doug will say, " Hey, activites director, what are we doing Sat. Night? " We too look forward to it. When was born 20 years ago I would have never dreamed we would have an empty house. It's empty now, most of the time. but and Tom both know this is their home and they are welcome back if needed. was home all day Sat. to do laundry and her Dad changed the oil in her car. The last time she took it to Jiffy Lube by herself and the guy tried to sell her a bunch of extras she didn't need. She had the good sense to say No. It's always nice to have her home which isn't often. Keep those dates ! Lynn Time together I just wanted to share that this weekend drove Patty to HKNC in Long Island to see some of her friends and people who work there. She stayed the weekend. Patty arranged the trip with driving her. She had a marvelous time and she deserved it. But even better is that I then met and he and I went into New York City for the day on Saturday. It was absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed being together, seeing the sights, and just having fun. Then we went back to a hotel-outside of the city because of the expense. After eating we fell asleep at 8:30 and didn't wake until 7:30 the next day! Isn't that romantic! Really though after this we were talking about how we never get time together. We are now going to schedule time once a week for an hour or so to be together. ALONE. It might be going for a walk or out to eat, or whatever. And the rules are going to be during that time we can't talk about anything stressful including work. It only took us 23 years to figure this out. Better late than never! Bonnie, mom to Kris 22, Patty 20 CHARGE, and wife to a very calm and relaxed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Michele, Go for an hour a week if you can. You will be suprised what a difference it will make. Lynn Re: Time together Bonnie- I'm so glad you and had a good time. And Patty too, of course. One hour a week is a reasonable expectation -- and should do wonders for you both. Now... if I could get DJ to do the same. We've come up with plans like that along the way, but never followed up on them. Maybe they were too ambitious -- datenight type things.
