My husband just told me he is having a midlife crisis! I giggled. We are sitting at our computers headed off to bed soon but I just wanted to state that going out at night without my kids is great.
It is hot here. Even the natives say so. With an infant strapped on and a toddler connected the heat explodes. So alone, at night, with a breeze.... great! I felt kind of like a kid myself being out alone.
Not the kind of kid feeling I had today while sweating under a blanket in our homemade tent reading stories, or the kid feeling when I saw a car approaching when I was on my haunches, or the kid feeling of peekaboo with a daughter who smiles with upside down eyes. This night time jaunt was the kind of kid feeling like jumping in a cool lake from an old car tire. Adventure. Fun that comes from good but slightly guilty adventure. ( I left two kids, a dirty kitchen and a load of laundry with my hubby.)
However the neighborhood had no electricity. As I walked with my little light I scattered cockroaches! Scattered. Scattered. Yuck. Kind of fun when you get used to it.
Kid feeling fun that chases cockroaches through the streets with lights.
