nervous about date night tonight

OK, I just need to get this out...

So, DH is always saying we need a date night and some time for ourselves. Usually this is after an invite from his friends to go someplace and I am selfish with teh time I will be away from Brooke. I have to leave her 48 hours a week, so what I have left, I usually spend with her unless there is a really good reason not to - which does not include going with with DH's friends because if we are going to spend time together without the kids, let's actually spend it together. I want to spend it with him, not his friends' wives. KWIM?

Anyway, I thought of a compromise but I didn't tell DH since Brooke had a cold last weekend and if something came up, I didn't want him to be disappointed. So, my mom is keeping Brooke tonight from the time DH leaves to coach ss's basketball practive until midnight (I can't leave her all night yet, especially when she isn't sleeping well.) So, DH is going to come home to me after practice, we can take our time getting ready, or whatever, (I just went to Wal-Mart and bought heart-shaped tealight candles and fake rose petals) (sorry if TMI) and then I am taking him to eat at one of his favorite restaurants and then to go dancing. I also invited a couple of his friend's to the bar so we get some alone time and some time with his friends.

So, DH still doesn't know about it but just to make sure he comes home right after practice I told him that I have 3 surprises for him tonight and one of which involves taking to eat at Rafferty's.

I hope Brooke does OK at my parents' house & that she eats OK. I packed a ton of stuff that she can eat (food allergies). I am sure I am just worrying too much and everything will be fine. I think I may have my mom take some of her toys too. 

OK, thanks for listening if you got this far...

    This sounds like an awesome surprise and I'm sure you'll both feel so connected and happy afterwards. Brooke will do great. Ellie has some major separation anxiety but always is perfect for my mom. She saves her fussing for after I pick her up. Stick out tongue Try not to stress and enjoy your alone time with your hubby! You need and deserve it!

    Don't stress!  Brooke is going to be fine.  She will probably have tons of fun.  Your DH is really going to appreciate this surprise.

    AWW!  Have fun!  It'll probably be harder on you than her.  What a great surprise for your DH.

    You're a great wife, great idea about date night for your hubby!  Have fun tonight and I'm sure Brooke will do good with grandma & grandpa.  We're leaving Charlotte with my parents tonight too and for the first time.  I'm nervous, but I keep telling myself that they raised 3 kids so they obviously know what they're doing and she'll be in good hands.
