A good example of this is last night.  Hubby and I were supposed to have a date night.  It wasn't really well planned out, kind of just a last minute attempt at a night out.  Well, being that it was a last minute "attempt", it pretty much blew up in my face and nothing seemed to work out.  At first I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get a sitter, then when a sitter came through (a special thanks to my family who's always available and willing to watch our little munchkin at the drop of a hat - yes, I know you're reading this mom!).  Once we had a sitter, we couldn't get a reservation at the restaurant of choice or any other restaurant that was even up to the standard of "date night" at the Deininger household.  Of course I got in a pissy mood since I had been so looking forward to this outing and having another date night flop and cancelled yet again put a damper on my outlook of the rest of the evening.  As usual, hubby did manage to save the evening with a nice charcuterie plate and a couple bottles of wine.  Although hubby saved the night, I still miss being able to come home and just decide to go out to dinner my husband without having all he hassle.  I get frustrated with myself and my husband for not making the time to be together like we had promised to when we first found out we were expecting.  So many people told us to really try our best to keep up the date night and make time for just the two of us.

Although I sometimes wish I had waited, more so for financial reasons (and sometimes more selfish reasons), I don't regret having my daughter.  I was only 24 when I got pregnant and although that may seem very young to some people, it was just right for us.  Now I have a beautiful toddler who fills my life with pure joy.  There's nothing in the world that I would trade my little munchkin for!  She's the love of my life and my whole universe.
