Man, I would love to have the freedom to just leave the house and take a walk with K at 11:30 at night. Never mind that we're both too tired to do that (and were even before we had D). It's the principle of the thing.
I wouldn't want to do it now, when the nights are still in the 80s, but in autumn, when everything smells so crisp... I miss nighttime walks. I hadn't even thought of it before, but it's just something you can't do if there's a young child in your home. And it's such a simple thing. Forget about any of the other complex stuff you lose when you have a child... your own childhood, your ability to just pack up and leave, your collection of porn videos (not me, of course. By which I mean that I never had any, not that we kept them. Damn, I'm in trouble now). The simple stuff you miss the most, even without knowing it. Sure, I could take a walk alone, but I don't want to do that. Man, we have got to get a babysitter...
