Having a spa day at home.
So I have to confess that I've been
a bit of a mess lately.
It seems that the summer
left me a bit neglected and ragged
from keeping up with my wild boys.
My mom took pity on me
and invited me over to her house
for an afternoon
of rest and relaxation.
It was a total surprise
and a welcomed retreat
for this weary mama.

She pampered me by giving my
feet and my hands a lovely treatment.
I sprawled out on her bed
and she washed my feet with a warm washcloth.
It was just about the sweetest thing ever.
I could have cried
because I felt so spoiled.

Then, she gave me a facial.
The relaxation settled around me
as my skin was exfoliated and hydrated.
It felt so lovely
to have someone tend to me for once.

I then took the most delicious nap
in her big ol' comfy bed
with the air conditioner blasting cool air on me.
It felt like heaven.

After a stretch and a yawn
I hopped into her shower
and let the hot water drip on my face.
No little people were banging on the door.
No little people were screaming my name.
I even washed my hair.

Then I climbed back in her bed
and spent the rest of the afternoon
reading a good book.
It felt like such a luxury.
I felt so loved
and relaxed
and taken care of.
It did wonders for my soul.

Well that certainly sounds nice & well deserved!!! I would love to take just one of those things & add it to my day. Just the thought of being able to get through a shower & getting dressed without someone knocking on the door is so appealing! :)

Ahh .. How about a girl friend spa day? Get the dads to watch the kids for a couple of hours. Take turns giving and then receiving the spa experience! Now that's a relaxing win-win situation!
So I just barely got time to link up. Thank you so much for doing this each week!
