So, you’ve dropped the kids off at
the babysitter or the grandparents’, and you have a few hours
to relive the halcion days of life B.C. (Before Children). Rule
Number One: Plan ahead! Time alone with your spouse is precious
and necessary to keep you from going bonkers, so make sure you’re
all set to go as soon as your children are in safe hands. To help
you plan your fabulous date visit the following sites:
- Moviefone.com
"Hello, and welcome to Moviefone!" The obnoxious Moviefone
announcer is happily absent from this site, but with several
ways to search the site, it’s got what you need to find
a good flick in your neighborhood.
- Zagat.com
Read other diners’ reviews of the restaurants in your area.
Palm users can buy Zagat software from the site, too.
- Ticketmaster.com
Come here for plays, opera, sports, music, and museums.
- Citysearch.com
The place to go if you’ve been given a longer reprieve.
You can find out about day spas, outdoor activities, golf, cultural
tours, festivals and all the other fun things you used to do
with your spouse.
Maybe you have an entire weekend to getaway. Plan your minivacation
at Bed
& Breakfast Online and make a reservation at one of
2,750 inns.
Nervous about handing your child to a babysitter? Make sure he
or she knows what to do in case of an emergency. Print
out the guide , and go over it with the babysitter before
you leave.
Even if you can’t get away from the house, you can still
relax. If you are in a room where you can’t hear your child
if he or she needs you, get the Evenflo
Monitor & Intercom, an excellent $60 unit that doubles
as a 2-way intercom.
Oh, and don’t forget Rule Number Two: Enjoy every
minute, because it’ll be over sooner than you think!
