It does not happen often, but once in a while I get surprised. T is very predictable. (No, honey, I am not saying you are boring.) He works a lot, his work happens on a schedule, so his discretionary time is predictable. It actually makes it easier for us to get together since my kid-driven schedule is kind of crazy.
On Thursday I was with my kids, and I promised the younger two, they could stay at my house on Friday night. T and I rarely see each other on Fridays, and since K and AJ like to go out, it makes it good for everyone if I take the younger kids to my house.
On Friday morning, I got a text from T. "Want to meet me for diner tonight?" Just getting a text from T at all during the work day is unusual, but getting invited to dinner with short notice, is almost unheard of.
Of course I told him I wanted to go, but I would have to see if I was OK with the kids. Since I had promised them, I didn't just want to ditch them.
"Where do they want to go?" came the next question. So not only was T inviting me out, he want the kids to come too. (How can you not love this man??)
After work, I headed to K's house, packed up the kids and headed to a restaurant about half between my house and his office.
It was not a romantic dinner, but it was another night, that I thought would never happen. It was extraordinary, in its ordinariness. It was just a man and his partner and his kids our for dinner.
What's so strange about that?

What a lovely evening out! It's great that T wanted to have the kids along. Did the kids also enjoy it?
Yes, they did. T is really good to my kids and they like him.
