sometimes i just need some alone time, and yesterday i finally got a day off. it wasn't any fancy trip to a day spa or beach or anything like that... more like a vacation to a sweatshop in asia somewhere. but, nonetheless, it was PERFECT and just what i wanted!
i got to sleep in, but i woke up anyways because i heard tristan and adam laughing downstairs and wanted to be part of the fun. then they left for the afternoon while i cleaned my house and listened to girl music. (pink, gwen, the idol divas.) it was niiiiiiice. adam and tristan brought me lunch and then adams mom watched tristan for us for a few hours while i sewed and adam cleaned the yard. then i shampooed the carpets while adam made me dinner, we put T to bed and then i got a bubble bath, which i ended early and opted for shaving in the shower for the first time in months. then i did a facial, flossed, cleaned my nails, dyed my hair, and finished the laundry. by ten thirty i was SO tired. AND THEN I SLEPT LIKE A BABY!
might sound like a chapter out of your own personal hell, but one mans trash is another mans treasure ;)
its crazy what things can effect my emotions without me even realising it... having the house cleaned and myself groomed is better than prozac and psychotherapy! (trust me)
might i suggest to ALL of you mommies that you take a "vacation" this next week?
mine only cost about $20. the key is to get everyone in your house to understand that you are really on vacation, and that could be tough unless you have the luxury of kicking everyone out of the house for a day. (maybe try wearing a Hawaiian shirt? :)
a vacation for your emotions. those silly little things can turn into a three year old after a 2 hour car ride if you don't let them out every once in a while.
love,
lynsie
