You have no idea.

In the past we've dropped the kids off with sitters and friends and gone out. Usually this is a planned affair that requires hairspray and clean socks (among other things). Last night was the exception. At the last minute a deal was hatched. Dawnand Jason would watch my children, possibly even overnight if it seemed amenable to all) and I would watch hers later this week.

Neall and I went to an un-rushed dinner of Korma at our favorite Indian Food place (India's Kitchen, if anyone wants to check it out). We met there after Neall got off of work. After dinner we quickly dropped off the car to my IL's and came home. Here's where it gets exciting. Next we watched 2 episodes of House. Well, Neall watched 2. I watched 1 and about half of the next one before falling asleep snuggly on the couch. Then I went to bed. And WOWIEZOWIE does it feel good to sleep all night. I didn't flip. I didn't flop. I didn't nurse 1700 times. I didn't get drinks or take anyone potty. I didn't soothe fears after a nightmare. (I hope Dawn didn't do a lot of this either, lol). I actually slept.

You have no idea how exciting and fantastic this night was. Awesome.
