I would appreciate a date night with my husband as he averages six weeks of work before coming me for two weeks. I am a homemaker and would love to spend four hours with him, without kids.

My husband and I will need a date night when he gets home from deployment! He will be home mid October and we will be well overdue! We have only had 1 date night since our son was born January 2005. Being a military family, we deal with moving a lot and being separated a lot. I am VERY proud of my husband, but I sure do miss him as well! He deserves a GREAT date night, and so do I. Please consider this military family for the grand prize! God Bless! Tami Grgas

My husband and I have not had a real date in about 4 1/2 years.Let me explain.About 4 &1/2 years ago our home burnt to the ground we lost everything,except the clothes we had on.We found out we were underinsured.after the fire when we called our insurance company.Thats NOT something to find out AFTER the FACT by the way! So for several years we struggled to just get it all back together.Then my husband was hit on his motorcycle on his way home from work and seriously injure A little over a year ago.It was like a kick in the stomach.I'm like not again.We didnt think we could take another tragedy.He had severe road rash all down one side, a broken collar bone and many other injuries.More than 1 year later He is still in great pain at times.After all these things; the economy Tanked and he works in the Lumber Industry,they are not building houses. So the house we struggled to get back ;we are struggleing to keep.There have been no dates in almost 5 years.It has worn on us heavily.But we love each other very much and make sure we say it everyday.Especially before he leaves for work.I no that feeling of that call from the hospitaI ,so I make sure to say I love you,I never go to bed angry.But we could use some US TIME.Just my best friend and me.By the way we will be married 20 years in decemberTHank You.Good luck Everyone God Bless! Be Safe.

While I might not be a mom myself, I would like to enter my own mother into this momlogic contest. She spends countless hours a day helping me out, trying to pay off the bills, working, keeping a roof over our heads, and just making sure that everything is taken care of. She is the real epitome of the complete best mom. And it is honestly the truth when at the end of each day, she has to admit she didn't get to start or finish any of her own issues/work for helping or doing something for someone else or doing their work/job. Unfortunately, I'm sick with anemia and have a bone condition that I've had to receive surgeries for. She has always put me first with getting my health better, and always deals with my doctors and my insurance, where she doesn't have time for herself as well. I would really love it if my mother could win this romantic evening. It would be a nice opportunity for her to have some time where she gets to have herself taken care of for once, instead of always having to take care of everyone else -- the family, friends & others.
~ Sincerely,
Jessica k.

I'm a "single" mom who has a boyfriend but we never get to go out because for one - there's never any extra money and for two - I can never find a sitter!

My hubby and I could desperately use a date night! We've been living apart for over 4 years now.. he only comes home on weekends as he works 4 hours away. This isn't so bad as he used to come home once a month when he worked 12 hours away. Needless to say, when he is home, any free time is spent with our son. We used to make it a habit, though, to go out once a month... just us. Unfortunately I lost my job and times are tough and we can no longer do this. A date night from SitterCity, A SalonWish, SpaFinder and Restaurant.com would allow us to have a wonderful date night!

I am in desperate need of a night out. My husband and I have lost our way now that the kids have moved out. We are empty nesters going our separate directions. We used to blame it on the kids sports schedules and other kid related problems. We need to find a way to get back to the two of us. I forgot how we got kids! Can you help?

We desperately need a date night. We moved away from our "hometown" and family 2 years ago and don't have a suitable sitter. We love dd dearly but she's even had to accompany us on our anniversary dinners. We could really use some 1 on 1 time.

My husband and I could really use a date night. We're in that sandwich of taking care of grandkids, kids, and aging parents, so it would totally invigorate and refresh our marriage to go out alone and have a great kid-less date.

My husband and I have not had a night out alone in the last 5 years! We have a tight budget, no money for sitters and hate to use grocery money to treat ourselves. We desperately need a night out alone.

I really would love to get this date package because my husband and I haven't had a night out with no kids since-well I don't even remember! We have 4 great boys-11, 5, 3, and 18 months-tw of our boys have medical issues and so it is very hard to find and trust anyone to watch them-so we just don't! I stay home with them and my husbandgoes out of town to work every week. We never have any time to ourself for just us and it is so sad. I miss him and would love to just spend an evening out with him without having to worry about anything but each other (even if it is only for a few hours!).

Because of our boy's medical issues-they don't eat anything by mouth-we avoid eating out because people tend to give us dirty looks when we don't let our kids eat.It would be so great to actually get to eat a meal-that I don't cook and with just my husband.

Thank you for the chance to win this!!
