what anniversary dinner-vent

indomesticbliss

So our babysitter for next weekend backed out and we do not have a backup for that weekend...my thoughts were, okay, we can change our anniversary dinner (we haven't had a babysitter/date since MARCH) and go to the Melting Pot, Anders would love it. Yeah, they closed...LAST YEAR. So now we are hunting for a good place to go for dinner that will seem nice, but not too nice to bring a kid to. Oh yeah, and we have to eat by 4:30, Anders goes to bed at 5 (we can push it to 5:30 if we try). Lunch is not an option-Sean is at the office on Saturday for a meeting and most places here are closed on Sunday for lunch, and our babysitter is OOT for the weekend. And we cannot do anything on our actual anniversary-Sean is supposed to be out of town.

And, it all seems much worse because I didn't sleep last night (Sean was rolling all over the place and putting his knee in my back), Anders woke up at 4 to snuggle (which he hasn't done since he was about 4 months old) and I'm the only one at the office-no clue where my co-workers are. Not a bad thing, but I have nothing to do for the next 5 hours. Nothing at all. and if I go home, our AC is off because it is being worked on, and it's about 89 and humid today.

Yuck to all of that! I'm sorry you have having all these issues Can you make a nice dinner for your anniversary and then do a dinner date out next weekend? Totally sucks, but at least you have something to look forward to.

I think we are going to stay home, but the next weekend Sean is OOT as well...so maybe sometime in August we will get to it!

Everything just seems worse when you're overtired.

Wish I could watch Little Man for you!

Here's an idea:  Come to KC and I will hang with Anders while you two go to the Melting Pot!

Boo. So sorry you are having to deal with all this. Wish I could watch Anders for you. But I definitely know how it is to not get to celebrate and it sucks! Hopefully you'll get to celebrate very soon and the way you want to!

Have you tried to find a different sitter?  I know how hard it is to trust someone you don't know with your child, but sites like care.com do background checks on all of their sitters.  If you are comfortable with it, it's worth a try.

That all sounds really frustrating.

If I lived near you I would totes babysit for you so you and S could go out and celebrate your anniversary.

thanks for all the babysitting offers ladies! It's such a trivial thing to be annoyed with, but it has been a pretty rough week and it's the icing on the cake bit...
