I'm in Pacific Coffee at Vivo right now. We left Tara with my MIL and Bob's aunt so that we can catch a show together, just the two of us. We haven't got any chance to spend time with each other in recent months. He's travelling a lot and besides, my PILs weren't around so we couldn't get away either, even when he's in town.
Our show starts at 3.55pm. We are watching "Shooter", Bob's kind of show. And we are definitely here early. But I don't intend to shop since I've got nothing to buy. So I brought a book, Bob brought his newspapers and his precious PSP, and we just head to the cafe to chill out.
It's pure bliss. Two of us, enjoying each other's company, in a nice cafe, and sitting on nice, big leather sofa seats. He's playing on his PSP and I'm reading "Trading Up" by Candace Bushnell, (the author who also wrote "Sex & the City"). Even though we didn't chat much, we are happy to have each other for company, and also happy just to be away from the kid for a day.
I can't say I don't feel guilty leaving Tara at home. But sometimes, a little rest helps to recharge our batteries. Full time jobs, and having a kid. It ain't easy.
Okay, my timer's up. Gotta go back to my book.
