It's been a tough week.
Griffin has been home from school
with an ear infection.
He hasn't been the kindest patient, if you know what I mean.
Koen is still adjusting to
no longer taking a nap.
He hasn't been the kindest no napper.
My patience has been worn thin.
So, I was thrilled when I
handed my little scamps off to my mom
so that I could go to a Dr. appointment.

You would have thought that I was walking into a spa
when I approached the doors of the medical center.
It was quiet, no one was tugging at my skirt.
No one was calling anyone else a "stupid head".

I was all alone in the waiting room.
It was blissful to read an old Health magazine in peace.
No one was begging me to get them a snack.
No one was fussing.
No little people that I am in charge of were on the floor wrestling.

Without going into the boring details,
I hurt my back a while ago
and yesterday was my last day of physical therapy.
My back is strong and I'm feeling great.
I really enjoyed my very last deep tissue massage.
It really was like a day at the spa.
It's a sad state of affairs when you consider
a solo doctor appointment to be "me time".

I even escaped and grabbed a bite to eat
all by myself.
I read a book.
I sipped on Pellegrino.
No one was hitting me on the head
with a pretend lightsaber.
It was awesome.

Yes, that's pretty good that a deep tissue massage doc appointment gives you some "me time". As always I love your perspective! Thanks for sharing. And feel better.
Oh how I hear you and mine are much much older then yours. Except I have to add my sister who can't drive herself anywhere beyond a 15 mile radius by herself. My aunt who we have to cook for and bring to her.. Oh how I hear you..
Sometimes, I consider going grocery shopping by myself me time. A doctor's appointment where I could just sit down sounds divine.
You just described my dream day! :)
As you know, I can relate! I've often gone to a doctor's appointment and enjoyed it!
p.s. I am glad your back is better. Back pain is NO fun.
One time I went to mop a friend's floor for her, leaving my kids at home.
I remember being amazed how much fun I was having mopping the floor. With no kids at all...
;)
