My Weekly Lucky Night

Ha! I wish I meant that kind of “lucky night” (i.e., Business Time – watch video)…but unfortunately my lucky night isn’t about having sex…it’s about the evening I get to spend alone with my wife.  Usually once a week my parents (mama and papa) take both kids for the night – picking them up from preschool and dropping them off the next morning. Do I miss my kids??? Not really…well of course I miss them…but I also love the fact that I get to spend alone time with my wife to talk about things, grab a nice dinner alone, and tackle house chores and projects that can’t get done when all four of us are home.

As for our kids, well they really do love going to Mama and Papa’s house (15 minutes away) and playing, watching movies, eating popcorn, getting a fun bath, you name it — they like it. And so do my folks! Sure, my wife and I are probably spoiled because we have my parents around to watch the kids one night a week — no…we are spoiled and WE LOVE IT!

For instance, tonight…my wife and I hit Wegmans (food store) after work to get food for the rest of the week and weekend. Then we hit Victory Brewing Company, Downingtown, PA for  a good meal and beers, we had the Abbey 6 ale. Truly amazing ale! After dinner it was time to head home where we got to do our ‘own’ thing and then off to bed…yeah, I know, I’m lame and posting this from my bed right now while my wife is sleeping.

Ok, I know what some of you will say…but having two kids, sure takes the “energy” out of us and even on our alone nights we spend the time talking about us or fun things. Sometimes we even catch up on missed shows on the DVR.

    Jealous. We should do a Dad Blogs meet up at one the awesome breweries in PA sometime. Troegs or Victory are both amazing. What say you? Also, best of luck in the contest!
  • heck yeah!! sounds good Joe. I'm all for Victory in Downingtown...they just remodeled the place a few months ago and it's way better! And they have more beer on tap than for retail sale.
