So Happy Together

the other nite we were leaving parent-teacher conference on the way to hurry to dance class---we being Katie & I---and I saw friends of ours going to conference---they each arrived in their vehicles straight from work---and went together. that is so cool. so cool.
we---as in Kevin & I---juggle everything. the day parent. the night parent. the one who takes them to the dr. when they're sick. the one who takes them to school concerts. the one who picks them up from practice. we don't get much chance to do things together. we've been on opposite shifts for so long that we are totally out of sync. we tend to be moody, tired, overwhelmed, & I know I feel sometimes like I'm the only one who does anything, even though in reality I know I'm not.
I wonder if we'll be ok when it's just us---no kids. I heard a heartwarming story of other friends who are now empty nesters & they have rediscovered each other & are closer than ever. that sounds fishy to me. but maybe that's how it works?
