Joey and I escaped the house for the first time in forever and remembered we are not just business partners in a childcare facility we accidentally created. We are actually attracted to each other.
We went out like two people with zero responsibilities. Flirting across the table. Acting like we don’t have a shared Notes app titled “Groceries & bills”🤣
And then instead of driving home to tiny humans and Zootopia in the background… we checked into a hotel and absolutely clocked IN.
No baby monitor.
No tiny footsteps.
No one yelling “I peed the bed.”
Just grown, married, uninterrupted decision making for 12 straight hours.
If you know, you KNOW. 🫢🫣
Let’s just say the Do Not Disturb sign earned its keep. We rediscovered muscles we forgot existed. At one point I think we both realized we were moving with a confidence our joints did not approve of.
Fast forward to today…
WHY are we walking like we survived a minor car accident?
Why do my thighs hurt?
Why is he stretching like he just finished leg day at the gym?
Who let us behave like we’re 20 bywith zero consequences???
We are cracking up because it is NOT okay that being married and minding your business can result in this level of soreness. We have responsibilities. We have to function. We cannot be limping through the day like this.
Anyway.
10/10 would recommend remembering you’re spouses and not just exhausted parents. We had an amazing time being married.
Now if you need us, we’ll be hydrating, taking ibuprofen, and pretending we pulled something “lifting our 50-Eleven kids”
