I got to thinking last night (in between cursing my useless DP) that I need a night out. Without kids and without him.
So I was thinking, is anyone else keen to go out for dinner one night, maybe in a month or so, leave the kiddies at home with DP (or any other random babysitter) and just have a few hours off? -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Yep - let those be the exercise that works off my dinner 
And Fri or Sat is good with me.In fact if I'm really sneaky and it's a Saturday I might even be able to convince Mr Grump to get up with the gremlins on Sunday so I get a sleep in. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I am in two minds. Wont mind coming but I am so so bad at leaving my girl at night. (never mind the day.) 
I might just back out at the last minute or something. But pm me details closer to the time and I will promise to at least try. But not promising that I wont call to check up on them. Trust hubby but she is my babygirl. (boy I sound pathetic dont I?)------------- http://lilypie.com">

Roksana I know it will be good for her. I am just going to be a wreck. If it is on a Friday I will have to see when hubby gets home unfortanately. Reinier will be over by then as well.
Sat I promise to make it unless McKayla is sick but if it is just sniffles I might still come. Promise I will try. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Teehee, it's a first baby thing - every time I left Maya when she was a bub I was convinced she would die of SIDS/have an allergic reaction/fall and hurt herself/meet some dire fate. Not quite so anal with the gremlins - when the ladies in Pumpkin Patch offered to watch them while I ducked out to Farmers I dumped the gremlins behind the counter and ran as fast as I could ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
