Try this. Date night. Like a proper date night. Like it use to be, before the kids and ‘stuff’. Phone him. Ask him out (its the naughties after all) Tell him to meet you somewhere after work or after the sitters arrived. Now the tricky part but worth the effort. Try to get dressed somewhere else (and not in the same house or different room its just not the same). Not in each others presence. Away from the bustle of the kids. Away from rushing out the door. Meet him there at the restaurant or bar. Look for him across crowded room. Wait for him. Have him wait for you. Its the thrill all over again.
We did this a few weeks back. Well sort of. I had to meet FIFO husband interstate. We met at the airport before grabbing a rent a car and heading for a hotel…It was just me and him….it was just like it was yesterday..13 years ago. The excitement was amazing. The anticipation. The looking. The smiling. I cant wait to do it all again.
Have a great Saturday night lovelies,

Great idea! We are going on a ‘date weekend’ soon. I just discovered your blog through SAHM and commend you on FIFO life. It would be a challenge with three but as you said you either make it work or not. My hubby is shift working, not the same as fifo but we still have our lifestyle compromises. Hats off to you and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!
