I can't even remember the last time that happened.

Valentine's day is coming.

"Special" days just made for the couple. Even society's trying to help out.

So no one here uses their work benefits? Ovarium? Or any other spa?

Not free but. Close to it at least.

I don't know about you, but my days are usually booked from 6.30am-10.30pm (yet I just put the youngest one to bed). Whatever's left is my "free" time, which oftentimes involves working some more to play catch up. I usually go to bed between 1-2am. Thankfully things will get better as they grow older. And you know what, it's not that bad, you get used to it quick, and I at least get to ski or run almost every day of the week.

Sur ce, je m'en vais laver des biberons!

Everyone who has kids go through the same thing. I get naps instead, 3-4 hours a day, since I take care of both of them during the day after my graveyard shift. The wife takes over at night.

But I'd rather talk about those who do manage to get some spa time, without the kids , at least once a year.

If I'm not mistaken, my wife and I had only 24 hours alone in the past 6 years, and that was in 2010. We don't have anyone close to look after the kids. All the couples with kids we know have their parents or relatives to take care of the kids while they go away on vacation or for a few days. A lot of them even have a maid to clean their house while at work.

I'm trying to learn how to deal with kids, my gf says I'm doing good. they are 4 and 2, but they are gone for one week out of the month, so we do get to enjoy some time to ourselves.

Going back on topic.

Remember Sears prices?

[Undrave]

...WUT?!

[Pascal]

I remember Sears being the first to release some of the DOTM toys I think (Cyberverse?)... They don't sell toys anymore here.

[FreedomGundam]

I'm pretty sure the last time (and only time?) I bought a TF from Sears was Energon Towline back in 2005. I don't think I remember really seeing TFs at Sears past the first or second wave of Universe Deluxes...
