This past week has been really hard. Everyone has been sick. Scott’s grandmother has been on her death bed. Date night has been an afterthought here. Romance has not been in the air. I do miss the romance, but there’s just not been time for it lately.
From now until Christmas, I’m afraid that money will be tight. I have gotten most of my fall wardrobe bought, and only need a couple pair of jeans. I bought very modest clothing, but it all fits very well. I can’t wait to have a date night and be able to wear something new and nice.
My concern is finding ways to be both frugal and romantic and not stay at home for date nights. This could last until January. We had planned on going to a big musical event in the next few weeks, but that may not happen.
My first goal for this situation is to make my bedroom a haven. Somewhere that we can enjoy each others company, watch a movie together. We will have 5 kids this weekend, and will need to have us time. I will be moving all of the excess things out of my room, and possibly change the bed linens (lol, more than just clean, whole new sets of everything)
Do you have any ideas to help me with my dilemma?
