Parenting after 35

Our first night out was back to the 80's!

So last night we got a sitter for the first time - I was so nervous.  She came highly recommended and Vivian gave her the biggest smile (OK I was pretty jealous) when we handed her off. 

We had tickets to REO Speedwagon and Styx that DH had gotten from and interview he did with the lead singer of REO - and let me just say I was in my big-hair days heaven.  So much fun!  We met the singer after and I let him know that it was LO's first night with a sitter (which also reminded me I wasn't 16 again if this was the conversation I was having with a "rockstar").  He was really sweet and said he was flattered we chose his show for this first and said I looked great PP (which was bullsh!st since I wasn't rockin the cool jeans you ladies have been sporting but a pair of Ann Taylor's) - he was very sweet.

Vivian did great and was all cute and asleep when we got home - of course I have to pick her up and cuddle with her for a while. Fun, I feel human again!

    That's awesome! We still haven't gone out without Jace. Well, I actually did this week. I had to go to Tampa on a business trip. I hooked up with a few friends and drank like I was in college. It hurt the next day but it was fun that night. :)

    I am so glad you found a sitter that Vivian seemed to like. What's the going rate for a sitter these days? I used to charge $2 per hour. lmao

  • Options
    Going rate for a sitter is about $10 an hour in these parts (yea I used to make $2.50 which I remember clearly since one family paid me $3 and I thought they were Rockafellers!)  Oh and I had two glasses of wine before the concert and a beer at the show and was hungover this morning!  Guess I make a pretty cheap date.

    $10 per hour...I guess that sounds fair. I am a cheap date, too, now. :)

    Oh I am jealous of you & Jen. Hittin the booze. I feel like I have been in AA or something. I rarely ever do want a drink, but there are other times I just want to get a good buzz.

    Wow, REO Speedwagon & Styx is pretty cool, especially to be able to meet them.

    LOL. OMG. Mari that is the best PP date-night line EVER!

    Careful, you could put an eye out with that thing!

    Now I have visions of hordes of crazed mommies winging nursing pads at them....

    Stever and Jen! 

    Name the time and place, and I will meet you there with my 1988 "Music for the Masses" t shirt on!  Yes, I found it when I was cleaning out my dresser last week. REO was high school for me, but DM and the Cure were college.

    Once again, I am jealous of your DH's job.  I want to be him when I grow up.

    Glad you had fun and sounds like a rockin' good time.

    Can I join?? I finally had to get rid of my Cure concert T from...get this...ready? ...1989. I was New Order with PIL and the Suigar Cubes that same summer. DM was the next summer if memory serves.
