So I got myself a babysitter and I'm going on a Golf Widow's Date with my BFF (pictured above), who's husband is also on the trip. We frequent the golf widows club together and have for years. After years of frustration and annoyance about those long 18 holes taking longer (much longer) than promised, we have finally cracked the golf widow's code. Now when he goes golfing I can honestly be happy for him and sincerely wish him well on his game...
Are you ready for the secret (for those of you that don't already know it)? Newly married couples, listen carefully.
My final words to him as he happily bounded out door, with his cleaned and perfectly shined clubs slung over his shoulder, went something like this:
"Happy {early} Fathers Day Honey! I love you so much and want you to have the best time ever. You totally and completely deserve this. ...Oh and just so you know, I already have a girl's spa day planned and booked for next Saturday. Bye."
Hey, this girl knows how to work it.
If you happily and sincerely give to them and then take the initiative to treat yourself just as kindly, they will happily and sincerely give to you. Things don't always have to be even right then but in the long run it will even out. Just don't forget to stand up for yourself and to make things happen for you too. If you don't than you may end up always giving and not really getting.
And to be quite honest I am so glad that my sweetie has hobbies and things that he is passionate about. And I'm so glad that he has friends to share his passion with. He supports me in my hobbies and I in his. Just a few weeks he ago he happily spent Mother's Day weekend with our busy beautiful boys while I was enjoying all that Las Vegas has to offer with 5 of my awesome girlfriends. He did not complain once and when I got home the house was spotless, the boys were happy and there were flowers and a card waiting for me.
So as I joke about being a golf widow this weekend, I really am so happy he is taking a much needed break and is going to spend some quality guy time doing some quality (and probably some not so quality) guy things.
Oh and I really do have a spa day booked for next Saturday. We are getting massages, pedicures, the works and then going to dinner.
