Best Laid Plans

We had good intentions. Our first plan for the night was for Nick and me to go see Brad Paisley. We don't get out much without the kids and thought this would be a great evening out. A few weeks back I was talking about getting tickets and the new guy at work said he could get them for us. Great! Two weeks later, he says the tickets will be at will call. Two days ago he says he can't get them. I'm thinking the new guy is gonna be a short timer! Anyway, we decided that we would have a family night instead. This would be special because Nick normally works Friday nights.

Then, last night, actually, 5:30 this morning, Nick calls saying he's going to be late because he had a big arrest and had lots of evidence to book in. I don't hear from him again until 12:30pm! He's just on his way home. He worked 16.5 hours! I knew where this was headed... He says to wake him up when I get home with the kids and we'll go see a movie. I wake him up at 6:00pm, and he asks for another 45 minutes of sleep. How could I deny him when he was out keeping the streets safe the night before! So 45 minutes goes by, and I just can't do it. I couldn't wake him up.

So here I am and it's 9:15pm. The kids don't seem to mind, though. 3 are playing upstairs and one is playing video games down stairs. Fortunately Nick is on vacation this week as well, so we will have lots of time to spend together. I just couldn't seem to wake him up after such a long night at work.

Now we are planning on trying to have a date night again next Friday. I'm not sure what we are going to do, but hopefully it will involve leaving the house! Maybe go to the drive in!
