This weekend, I felt more adult than I have in months. We used our first babysitter. A high school girl that I had to pick up, pay, and drop back off.
The whole time I was picking her up, I kept thinking to myself, "How am I old enough to be picking up a babysitter?"
I babysat a ton when I was a teenager. I loved babysitting. And now, we have a babysitter. The whole thing made me feel old.
Luckily, we then hung out with friends who quickly made me feel like a kid again with wonderful immature conversations. We laughed and talked and laughed some more.
The night went by too quickly, but with our babysitter's tab growing, we headed home to a quiet house. Kids sleeping; dog sleeping; and babysitter playing games on her iPad.
We love that we have family that will babysit the kids, but it is nice to have another option for date nights. It was weird leaving the kids with someone we just met, but we all survived and had a good time in the process.
And now I have accomplished another mommy milestone.
