My husband and I would really enjoy a date with out the kids! We moved from Indiana to Louisiana a little more than a year ago due to his work. He is a Project Manager for one of the many Levees being reenforced after The Katrina Hurricane. We have no Family or friends out here so it is impossible for us to go out without the kids. My husband also works monday thru friday all day long and comes home no earlier than six o'clock so we really dont have time just for each other and to be honest I really need this, I have had no time for myself in more than a year! I just saw my first white hair and have no time to go dye my hair and I have never dyed my own hair but if we get the chance to win this that is one of the things I would like to do.

My fiancee and I have a two -year old daughter. Number of times we've been out on a solo date without her in tow? 3. Number of times we've done that in the past year? 0. We just moved to Austin, where we know no one, and as he works 16 hour days to save for a wedding and a house, I study all day for my teacher's certificate. We snap at each other and then make-up (you know what I mean) at 3 am, the only time we have for such things. I haven't gotten a haircut in forever, and I have no idea where to even look for a reliable baby sitter in this town, let alone pay for one. We owe it to ourselves to get out, and I know he could use a break--Lord knows he deserves one. So please, Momlogic, send me and my fiancee out. He's a terrific dad and I am ecstatic knowing we will spend the rest of our lives together. Give me a chance to give him the night out we both deserve.

My fiance and I have not been spending much time together mostly because of his work but then even more bcause ye haven thad much money to spend. On a weekly basis he would work and pay rent and then pay the car payments and then pay his insurance for his car then he has little to no money left. I have thought of ways to not spend money but when we have to rely on family I really dont trust to much watching my children and having no time to spend with one another I really just want us to be able to go out and have fun with no worry about if we spend 20 dollars on a dish per person if we will regret it because we will need to pay for something else. Please help. 2 kids and no money not good combination!!

• Four FREE hours of babysitting from Sittercity.com (valued at $40) I have never had a babysitter in 9 years. I could use one, even for just one night out! We have four girls, ages 1,2,6,and 10. We are both Nurses, and are always on call. All we do is work, take turns with the kids and kiss in passing!
• A one-year membership to Sittercity.com (valued at $100) I would pass out if I were to win this one. OMG! I could take one a day a week to spend with my husband, even if it were to just take a long walk to the park for an hour.
• $250 gift card to Salon Wish I have not been able to find time or the money to be able to "get pretty" ... I might look like a real WOMAN again!
• $200 gift card to Restaurant.com This would be my husbands favorite thing, as I cook a lot of meals on the run type food, and freeze ready to cook meals for the girls and him. This entire prize pack would be a win fall for us. Like Teachers, Nurse "save lives" for pennies. I would be forever grateful.

I'm so glad you all have this giveaway going on and glad you asked. Our anniversary is coming up. My hubby asked me what we were going to do, as this is our 8th anniversary that's coming up. I asked him, well what do we ever do and joked about our anniversary about 3 years ago when we went out in my moms econoline van for our anniversary. My mom and youngest sister wanted to go for the ride, so they stayed in the van and kept our kids while we enjoyed our "romantic" dinner. But as soon as dinner was over, so was our celebration. We have 4 children and the only time we get to ourselves is after their bed time or when they're outside playing or in another section of our place, which really isn't time alone.

I can so use a date night. I work full time. I have a two year old and a three month old who likes to wake every three hours for a feeding. As soon as I walk in the door it all begins. Cook dinner, bathe the kids, put #1 to bed, put # 2 to bed, collapse, wake to feed # 2, etc. And then it starts all over again.

My husband has been unemployed for a little over a year. It has been extremely difficult but at times seemed to work out for the best. We have a ten month old that was born with Trachial Stenosis. We spent many nights in the hospital and constant testing. His breathing was so sensitive that we had to keep both boys home. My little guy is doing fine now and we are still struggling with our bills. Creative financing helped but we are getting down to the wire. My husband went back to school and is taking his test for his GED this week. I hope he pass and this would be a wonderful date night not only out for us but to celebrate our new future.

Since the rules state this is a random drawing, I don't want to go into too many details. I just want to post that. I NEED a date night I'm a single mom with 2 teenage boys. I've been out of work for a while so there have been NO extras. I would give almost anything to go to a Salon or out to a real Restaurant with a date. So, who knows maybe I will win and I will stop pulling the hair out of my head for awhile.....LOL. Good luck to everyone else!!!!

I need adate night out cause I have not been able to seperate from my child since she was born, being a single stay at home mom, and not having a job, I could'nt afford to change my mind. And a nice date night out I think could be a nice time away from home, even if it is just ONE night.
