Question 1b
Comment from DramaMama
What do I miss the most? Being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want. Being able to lounge around all day if I feel crappy. Shopping, which I actually hated to do - now I miss it.
How do Brent and I escape? Well, we both work, so that's an escape I guess. Not really a fun one, but it's away time. As far as Brent and I getting away together - well, that doesn't really happen anymore. I'm okay with that. This is a season, and it won't last forever. It makes the few minutes alone so much sweeter and more valuable - like if he's watching a movie, we can chit chat or watch a different movie on the laptop. Before I went back to work we'd have some time after Andrei went back to bed, but now I pretty much go to bed at the same time, so we just steal a few minutes through the day when we can. Andrei still can't understand when we're talking to each other, but I know that won't last for long.
Something specific I miss? Going to the movies, I think. Brent and I used to go quite often, and now we haven't been since before we left for Russia. Actually I'm going to take this time to vent about Marcus Cinema too, because the one movie I was willing to get a sitter for (big stretch for me) is not being shown at any Marcus theater until later. I really wanted to see this on opening night so there would be no spoilers. Argh! Oh well. Not like I have time to browse media on a regular basis either, so maybe I'll be able to keep myself in the dark until we can get around to seeing it.
Two related and new questions. What do you miss the most about your life BK (before kid)? How do you and Brent escape, individually and together, now that you're in the AK (after kid) era? I know you've talked about having to plan your life around Andrei, but is there something specific you miss out on? I know I miss quiet sometimes. Even when Mo's quiet, I still am not b/c quiet means trouble and I've got to get up off my butt and find him!!
