play hooky

Did your mom ever let you stay home from school just to have a special day with her? Mine did. It didn't happen often. Maybe 3 times that I can remember in all my school years. We would go shopping, or stay home on a cold day, watch movies under blankets and drink hot chocolate. Those times were truly memorable.

Why not play hooky with your spouse? The great thing about calling off work rather than requesting a day off is the spontaneousness of it. You don't have anything planned for the day. The kids are all ready to go to school/caregivers. It is just you and your hubby in an empty house for a few of hours. OR maybe you have kids younger than school age and one of you stays home to care for them. SO WHAT! If they are young chances are there will be a nap. If you have nothing to do, nowhere to be, what does it matter if you get in some nice family time and then some adult time during nap?

Sex during daylight hours is a rare treat in my house. There is something about a middle of the day romp that is super sexy. Less than OK sex before bed, becomes good sex in the middle of the day. Strange how a simple out of the norm romp can turn bad sex to good.

I am not saying to put your life on hold every month or even every 6. Just every so often take an unplanned day for you and your spouse.
