The plans for us four to spend a long weekend at Jim and Bonnie's cabin kept changing. First Bonnie and I ended up going in to work Friday, so Jim and my husband Bob went up early Friday morning without us and we were to come up after work. Next Jim called to tell us a blizzard was hitting the cabin and that we shouldn't come up Until Saturday. I told Bonnie that we should just spend the night together and then leave early in the morning. Bonnie loved this idea, saying it'll be like a slumber party except this time we'll have wine.
We got to my place around five, had a nice dinner and a lot of wine. After dinner, we changed into nighties to go to bed early and then we sat watching some old movie while we finished the wine. I knew we had drunk too much from the way we were laughing so much but by then I didn't care.
"You know Donna we have so much more fun when the boys aren't around, I swear if it wasn't for the sex and to take out the trash I wouldn't miss Jim a bit."
"Long as I got fresh batteries I don't even need Bob for sex and to tell the truth he's not too good at emptying trash either."
I meant it as a joke by when Bonnie agreed with me it got us talking about the shortcomings of married life.
