Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday is back and I am hosting this party once a month! For those of you visiting for the first time, the goal is to grab one hour of time within one month to do whatever you want…without the kids. It’s such an amazing proposition, I know! On the last Thursday of each month, post how you spent your time out (add my button from the right side bar or link to me) and be sure to stop here to link up and meet other Theta Moms to see how they spent their time out!
This month was busier than ever, especially with Valentine’s Day and my birthday. So my hubs asked me where I wanted to go for a night out to celebrate. You may think that I wanted to go to some romantic little spot with a bottle of wine, but what I had in mind turned out to be even better than that. All I wanted to do was kick back over a few beers with some extra greasy appetizers in a nice bar with my man.
And that’s just what we did. Alone. Uninterrupted every five seconds.
It was wonderful.
We grabbed two stools at the end of the bar and caught some of the Olympics on the big screen. We talked, we laughed, and talked some more. We were there for a few hours and it was such a blast. These are the times I remember spending together before we had kids with not a worry in the world. It was so nice to do nothing but share some smiles and laughter over a few drinks.
It was a perfect time out for this Theta Mom and fabulous way to celebrate my birthday this month!
Now I can’t wait to read your blogs! How did you spend your one hour this month? If you are participating in Theta Mom Thursday, link up and share your time out and be sure to visit some other Theta Moms as well!
What a wonderful idea to spend some adult time at an adult place with hubby! Uninterrupted, casual conversation seems to be such a novelty in our household! I bet you not only felt refreshed, but also closer to your husband in a ‘newlywed’ kinda way — not just the ‘your a wonderful father’ way… Thanks for hosting this! I look forward to reading what other Theta Moms did with their time this month!
That sounds like fun to me! Something that Hubs and I did all the time before kids and near impossible now!
That sounds like a great idea! Something I definitely need to work on with my OH.
This month we managed to get a sitter and went out in Perth (Scotland not Australia! lol ) for an evening out with OH’s family for my BIL’s birthday. Was so nice to have an evening just the two of us!
Heather it sounds like you had a great time. Laughs and beer with the hubs is a great idea – I’m going to have to try that with mine. Glad you had a great birthday.
Sounds like a great idea. I don’t have kids do it’s not really appropriate for my, but you post did remind me of how we’ve not been out for a few beers, just the two of us, for ages. So you’ve inspired my to do that, maybe tomorrow evening.

Wow that sounds so great! My husband and I were just talking about how we have to make more time for us and do things like that. I miss those days. Now we just have to make more of an effort. So glad that you enjoyed your time!
Sounds like a blast Theta Mom. Moments alone with the hubbs and laughter are so wonderful. lad you not only had a Time out but a wonderful Valentines and Birthday month!!
That sounds like so much fun. My ex and I did that before the daughter was born and it was great, not a care in the world, at least for a few hours. Happy belated birthday.
Sounds like the perfect way to spend a few hours with your hubby. It is amazing how carefree you feel without kids in tow isn’t it?
That is such a fun way to have a time out. I need to get my husband and I out again. I hope you are having a great week. Thanks for hosting this.. I got mine up this month.. Yeah..
I love that a date night doesn’t have to be fancy for you to have fun. My husband and I used to have dates like that all the time before kids. We are long overdue to have a night out. We just need the weather to cooperate!
I’m glad you had a great night out!
Oh sounds like a great evening out. We are doing this very soon as it’s much needed!
I just submitted my link. I actually got some free time this morning to put together a post. Sounds like you and hubby had a awesome time.
Love this idea! I will partcipate next month since I failed to give myself this hour this month (for good reason though). Glad you had a nice evening out!
Thats a great idea..Ill participate as well next time…!
A woman after my own heart! Beer & greasy bar food! Yum!
I will certainlyjoin in the fun the next time you post this….As for me, hubby & I spent 24 hours in Philly this month. It was a special gift from my mother-in-law and it was just what we needed to feel rejuvinated!
Sounds lovely!!
Oh Theta Mom, I just want to cry! I had 2 wonderful Time Out’s planned for the coming days but we are getting dumped on once again! I fear my time out’s will be cancelled.
As I don’t have kids, this would be pretty easy for me to do.
B – That totally stinks!!!
Boob Nazi – enjoy every minute of the time you have BK (before kids)! lol
Uhm, no idea how I wasn’t actively following your blog. Maybe I got lost in the switch? I just followed again, tho. I always read you, so how’s that possible? Either way — lovin’ it!
That is exactly what hubby and I used to enjoy doing! I miss doing that…bu I don’t miss the price of the drinks!
What a great evening! I know what you mean, sometimes it’s nice to forget about the hassle with a fancy date out and just go be together somewhere. I am so glad you got to enjoy your birthday/Valentine’s celebration in such a fun way!
I need to get my post up! Happy Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday!
I just realised the last proper date I had with my husband was on our anniversary and i was heavily pregnant at the time, so technically we weren’t even without the kids! Aaargh!
This post is so sweet and really made me feel nostalgic for those good old days of hanging out like two best buddies.
I’m squeezing in my Time Out tonight even though I don’t have a sitter or anything fancy planned, will still try and make the most out of it!
Aww that is too sweet! I wrote my me time piece yesterday so I linked it here. Cuz I knew I would forget LMAO……
Happy Timeout thursday Mommas!
Sometimes my alone time with the hubs after the kids go to bed is the best time. Just talking and laughing!
Love it. We did the same thing a few months ago. Wings and beer and it was heaven. I could care less about fancy anymore !

Sounds like a great time ! I love when me and the hubby can get away for some cocktails and some nice adult US time ! Ok going to go check out some of the link ups
That sounds like a nice, no pressure, low key but still very romantic and fun date night! Love it!
Happy Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday!
I’ve got a February birthday too – didn’t kick back any brews, but did induge in a large Carvel ice cream cake 😀
Sounds like a great idea!
Stopping by from Friday Follow to say Hi! I already follow and hope you are having great week!
Ladies- Yes, it was a real treat to be out alone, uninterrupted!
Some of my favorite moments are spent with my hubby doing just those things!!
That sounds awesome. This month was so busy for us with us being out of town every weekend, I really got no me time. The weekends we were gone and the weekdays were filled with preparing for the weekend! Lets just say I need a beer and am counting the days till I get this baby out!
Im jealous of your night! Sounds like it was wonderful! Hopefully next month I have a great one!
Posted on my blog about my Time Out.
Go check it out!
You had me at stools, beer and bar.
So glad you had a great time, hun! Sounds amazing!
xo
That sounds fabulous! My husband would LOVE that!
That sounds like a great time out! Glad you and your hubby had a relaxing, fun outing!!
I sooo need to make a date with my hubby! It’s almost been a month since we were out together just sipping a few glasses of pinot and enjoying uninterrupted (only by the bar guy asking if we would want another) conversation! Sounds like a fabulous time.
Happy TOFTMT!!
You know I had plenty of time alone this month… even a night out with the husband.. how cool is that.
My trip gave me plenty of me time and I cherish it.. great links
Glad you got the time with the man… when your kids are little it is so rare.
And Happy Birthday
Ladies – I am having so much fun reading how you spent your time this month!!! Thanks for playing along!
Checking you out from the Mommyologist. Love this idea. I’ll have to give it a go. I’ll be following now.
This is a great idea and should be doable to find just one hour in a whole month, right?
I’ll have to try for March.
Wow, I actually have one again (although I didn’t blog about it). My husband and I went out Valentine’s weekend with two other couples. It was the first time we ever tried a ‘group date’ (but gladly not bachelor style) for Valentine’s, but we had an absolute blast. The food was great, the conversation could have gone on forever and the drinks went down as smooth as silk. We just may make it a Valentine’s tradition!
This is INCREDIBLY awesome and what a great idea! My child is almost 16 so I have plenty of time. I am marrying a man with a 3 and 5 year old but they live with the mom full time and just visit him, so that’s no biggie.
I’d love to play! Somehow I think I’d have an unfair advantage.
Your bar time sounded surprisingly nice! And that BEER – Yuummm.
I’m glad you had so much fun! I am glad to share. I will definitely do this again!!
Sounds like a perfect night!! Happy Birthday to you!
We just moved to another state and i already have my FREE
time planned! I have been working very hard on my scrapbook room and can’t wait to have the girls over to scrap the night away!!!
What a wonderful time it sounds like you had!! My husband and I really really really need to do this too!!!
