I need a date night because I for once in my life I deserve it!! Everyone has always come first but for one night I would like to be number one, because every now and again mom's do deserve it :-) and no matter how old your children are. you never stop being Mom and you never stop worrying about what they are doing where they are going what they are putting in their mouths. The problems never seem to amaze me but I would not trade any,of it but would love a night out!!

My husband and I haven't had a "date night" out in years! Honestly, there are just too many expenses. I won't get into financial issues, but we just can't right now. I'd love to win this. Thanks :)

The reason I desperatly need a date night is this: My daughter , son in law, thier little girl and their one week old newborn, plus our son, live with us right now. Since my daughter had a C-section she can't walk up and down the stairs so we had to switch bedrooms. On top of that, we are helping watch the babies because my daughter has been sick with an infection so she has been back and forth to the hospital. My Mom is staying here helping also. So it is a busy, baby household and my husband and I have no time for any romance. We are too tired to do much of anything besides help out so we really need some us time.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer just 13 days after the birth of our only child, Joshua. He just turned 3 and we have had very times to be alone and romantic. I went through 5 1/2 months of chemo, a bilateral mastectomy, 6 weeks of daily radiation, and have recently completed several surgeries to reconstruct my breasts. My husband has been incredible in the past 3 years and we are more in love now than we ever have been. But, the romance has not really been there because of all of the things that I had to endure and then also caring for our son all while my husband works over 60 miles from home. I would love to be able to spend a romantic evening out alone together.

My husband and I are in a need for a date so bad. We moved to Louisiana over a year ago and we have no body to babysit the kids and we have not been on a date alone since i could remember. My husband and I could really apprecite this. He works really hard and deserves this.

My hubby and I need a date night because we have no family and friends around because we have to constanly move to different states because of his job. We are drifting apart and we need to reconnect in some romantic way. Also, he has not gotten paid for being on a medical leave because he had to have surgery.

The past year has been very difficult for my husband and I. We've had absolutely no time for ourselves, never mind to go out on a date. My husband had cancer surgery last summer then we found out his mom had aggressive lymphoma. His mom is still struggling to continue, one day at a time. By fall, my husband was diagnosed with precancerous prostrate tumors and is undergoing a costly holistic regime to cleanse his body. It is hard for him to undergo surgery as he is a disabled Vietnam veteran who survived a skull fracture. By the winter, my SIL developed Stage 4 lung cancer. Thankfully, she is in recovery but now my BIL is suffering from Stage 4 lung cancer and had to move back to our hometown to stay with family. At the beginning of this summer, my cousin's husband died at age 34 in a tragic car accident right near home. Now my mom, who is our support network, has multiple tumors and will have exploratory surgery next month to remove her left ovary and correct a hernia. We had to cancel our family vacation and have not had one moment to ourselves. The stress, worry and upsetment are consuming us. Winning a date night would give us some much-needed relief to face the difficult months ahead as we try to nurse everyone back to health and continue to raise our two beautiful children. At ages 8 and 10, they are wonderful and we want to be refreshed and happy for them. A date night would definitely help us regain a more positive perspective. With money so tight and nobody to help out right now, this would be a real blessing to us.

I am in desprate need of a date night because there are a total of about 70,000 muscles in a human body.
But approximately 640 which are skeletal muscles within the human body. Mine just happen to be all tied up in knots and need a big break from daily stress! Even though my Children are not babies any more and don't come with baby size problem's ( some babies like my Newphew Had huge problems) they older they get the bigger the problem seems to grow! Somedays I wish there were 4 sets of instructions included!!!!
