Nothing against my kids specifically, but DAMN! I just had a great weekend without them!
Both the kids went away for a church retreat this weekend. Kevin and I dropped them off at the church Friday afternoon, then headed over to a friend’s house for the afternoon and evening. Kevin helped our friend work on his motorcycle and I played with their new baby – until it cried and then I handed it over to Mom! We got to ride on their jetski (sp?), too. Pizza, buffalo wings and beer for supper. We were home by 11:00, went in the hot tub, and – with no fear of teenagers popping out the door – felt free to make love on the deck.
Saturday: Slept in as long as we pleased. More sex upon awakening and without having to leap up and be sure the door was shut and locked. Spent the morning at the Harley dealership (for him) and the book store (for me). Lunch at our favorite drive in and then off to the beach. We found a lovely secluded area off the James River. Played in the waves, relaxed on the sand, played in the waves, relaxed on the sand – you know the drill. It was so secluded that we discussed the possibility of beach-sex, but decided against it – it wasn’t that secluded. Anyway, the fact that we could even discuss it openly was a sign that we were ALONE WITHOUT CHILDREN. Home by 4:00. Made love again (in the living room) and had a lovely 2 hour nap. Grilled steaks for supper. Then Kevin watched a race on TV and I read my new book (The Songcatcher by Sharyn McCrumb – very good). Very peaceful and quiet. Hot tub after the race, then Kevin sat down and surfed porn on the computer (something he rarely gets to do with two teenagers in the house and the computer in a central area). I finished my book and we went to bed at 1:00. More sex before sleeping.
Sunday: More sex upon awakening. Read the paper, had coffee and bagels for breakfast. Did a little yard work – Kevin weeded the flower beds and mowed the front yard, and I cleaned and shocked the hot tub and raked the back yard. Around oneish, we made love in the living room one last time and headed out to pick up the kids from church – stopping off at our favorite hot dog place for lunch along the way.
Gosh, it was a swell weekend! Now everything is back to normal – Kevin’s at work (and he has duty, so he won’t be home until Tuesday evening), the kid’s will be up any minute, and the dog’s acting like he has an earache or something… Sigh. It was sure nice while it lasted.
