Mommy-cation

I have to brag... with a big fat smile on this mug of mine :)
2 friends of mine- who I deeply look up to- seriously ( I don't ever tell them that, but I do) graciously took my whole baseball team of kids, for a full day/ overnight so I could get a mommy break. This break was MUCH needed. I was seriously running on empty- and giving warnings as it got lowered each day.

So as the BIG day approached I couldn't help but think of the things I wanted to do.. Eat, sleep, watch tv that I wanted to watch- no more Wow-Wow Wubzy or anything else animated for that matter, eat some more, ignore the house, not shower, and just sit there like a bump on a log... and get a massage!

AS we were getting ready to leave, Charley looked at me concerned saying he didn't he was going to like this whole massage idea.... or if he was comfortable with it. I think at that moment I scrunched up my face like he was some kind of freak and asked " why not?!"
He told me to goggle Bill Engvall "massage"- and this is what came up.




Ok after I stopped laughing.. I started to think.... yeah, if I was a guy I probably would be thinking the same thing... This goes back to one of my moments where I am GLAD to be a girl! No worries!


Well I did decide that I was going to schedule not only ME a massage but also one for hubby- he has never had one.. and I don't honestly think he understand that IMPORTANCE of getting one!
So the kids were dropped off, I came home and ate till I was sleepy and waited for our BIG departure.. Ohh just thinking about it made me giddy.
After a detour of looking for a new car we finally made it to "OZ" (the massage). I went back first but we got to be room by room. I can not explain how my prego body just melted into hormonal ooze but it was so nice.. An hour just doesn't seem long enough... they should allow nap time right after massages too.. I mean you are all relaxed and feeling so good... only to get up, get dressed and WALK- ugh!
When I finally made it back upstairs to meet hubby to pay our bill, he totally cut me off with how much to leave for a tip.. I know there was going to be 2 VERY happy girls after their shift was over. I wish I could fully describe how much hubby loved his first time massage, but.... well.. let's put it this way... as we walked to our car he made a comment saying I should be lucky he never got a massage before we got married! I have never heard him talk about anything over and over again- unless it has some kind of man engine- but I am sure glad we were able to do this together. And I am even MORE happy that I was able to give him that experience- even if he does have a crush on some massage chick.....
I am just hoping now, that we can do this more than once every few years. I am voting for at least once a month :)




....oh and in case you were wondering what I did for the rest of my "day off"... Jack Poo!! I love mommy days off... now if ONLY they came more often!!!
