Hooky

Do you ever just want to play hooky for a day? When your husband comes to kiss you goodbye for the day do you ever just hold him a little bit tighter and longer than normal and say "let's just play hooky and stay home together today?" He always agrees it sounds like the best possible plan... and then we chat and hug for a few moments more ... and then we both go about our nice, responsible, adult lives.

I was having one of those mornings. Maybe it's knowing we both have schedules planned out from 8 am to 8 pm tonight ... maybe it's knowing we only have 7 weeks until we have a baby ... or maybe it's just loving him so much that the day seems to stretch out in front of me with out him around.

Maybe it's all three today ...

For the record we haven't ever followed through with it. I guess deep down we are just too darn responsible for our own good. But maybe ... just maybe we will soon.

Do it! Give yourselves a day off for once :)

I think you should do it, too. Playing hooky on a whim is a FAR different kind of escape than a planned day-off vacation.

Not that I endorse irresponsibility.

No.

Just spontaneity.

Especially the pre-baby kind.

Jake and I say that almost every morning but we haven't ever done it either.... boring. You guys should do it!

I agree. Do it. If you're feeling really guilty, just "call in sick"--everyone will believe you. ;)
