Our Other Life

The girls have been down in Austin with the Grandparents for the last two days and Jonathan and I have gotten to remember what it was like to have a life outside of the kids. We went out to dinner on Thursday night at Deadfish Grill next to the lake. It was a lot of fun. We splurged since we have been very frugal since he lost his job. We thought we deserved it! We were going to see a movie after wards, but we decided to head home and rent a movie instead. We ended up watching the last few episodes of Glee and going to bed early (I know we are so old!)

Yesterday we took J to the doctor to get an rx refill before our insurance runs out and then ran a bunch of errands. One of which was to go by and sign our application for private health insurance. It turns out that they can still deny you health insurance for preexisting conditions until 2014. Hopefully they will take us. It is looking like the kids will qualify for chip since we had a huge slash in our income. That will help until Jonathan finds a job. I really want them to have insurance more than us!

We are going to head down to Austin this morning to rescue our moms! Then we are going to my niece's graduation on Sunday so we will just stay in Austin land. I think we are going to head up to Dallas to see my sister and her husband after that. He happens to have the week off and Karen is done with school. We will probably never all be off like this again so we are going to get some major hanging out time in. Jonathan is really enjoying being without the kids bc he said we should head to Dallas without them. I had to remind him that they are our kids and don't belong to our mamas!

I do miss them a lot. But it was nice to remember that we are Jonathan and Rebecca and not just a Mommy and Daddy!
