Date Night

My wonderful in-laws came over Friday afternoon to watch my kids while Allen and I went on our first date night in....hmmm perhaps a year. I picked him up from work right at four. No working late when you have a date :) We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Yum! I love that place. It is a belated birthday dinner for me. I had filet mignon, baked potato and steamed veggies....now come on! That was a good choice.

Then we found out as we were leaving that the boy missing from St Louis was found. Not only that but they found a boy who has been missing around here for four years in the same apartment. Unbelievable!!!!!!! It was such a miracle.

Then Allen took me to Walmart as I promised Hannah if she gave her Dora slippers to her sister that were too small I would pick up some more for her. Then we got a coffee at Starbucks. Mmmmm one of my very favorite things to do.

That is when it all started to go downhill. It was my turn to pick a movie. I wanted to see The Pursuit of Happyness. It looked like a feel-good success. Well, it was two hours of gutt wrenching struggle for this guy and his son. They didn't even give you a chance to enjoy to eventually success that they had at the very end. They just wrote a blurb on the screen of the success he had after the point they ended the movie. Ugh, I was disappointed and so sad....it was such an emotional movie. It doesn't help that I am PMSing.

Then the weather was getting bad. It was starting to freezing rain. Well, as we were on our way home we saw an accident. Now this is right after I told Allen to be careful because I had a bad feeling and that I would be so mad if he killed us. Well, we pass the accident that just happened and a man is just hanging out of his car. I panicked. Allen turned around and as soon as we got close I jumped out into the freezing rain and ran toward the two cars involved. So, here is the picture: It is freezing rain, I am in heels (mule heels by the way), phone in hand talking with 911 and running like a psycotic wanna-be heroin. My emotions were just crazy. By the time the rescue people got there (which was just a minute because it was right across the street) and we drove away, I was a mess...inside and out. I just wanted to get home, kiss my kids and get into bed!

Oh well, at least I can say that will probably be one of our most memorable date nights!
