Got up, started to do the regular Saturday thing, clean, laundry, grocery store. Instead, I went shopping for myself, got some cute things at Kohls, next to the nail salon, mani & pedi deluxe spa treatment. Had lunch at Solomons, on the water. Its been a great day.

Nice
I never do that, and when I go out I always feel rushed
That is exactly what I go through. We should take time out for ourselves, so we can refresh, and rejuvinate to take care of all that depend on us. Maybe, luv, will start a new trend! Oh, and, my rushed schedule would have nothing to do with the fact that I spend entirely too much time on this forum!
It is like Kat said, we can't relax because we feel something is more important, even though we don't know exactly what that more important thing is. I do believe that the instinct for a woman to nurture is very powerful; as in, to take care of our babies/family. That is why we put off the nurturing of ourselves, and feel it does not come first. And, when we do allow a moment for ourselves, it is like wow, and there really should be no guilt involved. It makes me think of the old Calgon commericals.

I used to have a lot of guilt when I did something for myself when the kids were at home. Then, I figured that if Momma ain't happy, nobodys happy! Everyone deserves to treat themselves. I work, so why not? Enjoy your dinner with your Grands, and Daughter...you deserve it!Okay, I have to confess, Hubby usually works nights, he decided to take Friday nite off and we had planned on having dinner at a restaurant that has fabulous crabcakes, so I heard. I come home from work and he's not there. He called and said he ran into some friends and was having a drink with them. The friends are not my favorite people, so when he asked me to meet him there and go to dinner with them, I said no thanks. Now, being a man, I know I should've known better than to think he would come home and we would go to dinner. I really dont know what time he got home because I had leftover sloppy joe for dinner and went to bed. When I got up on Saturday, I started to go over the usual chores in my head deciding which to so first. Than, like an Epiphany, it hit me. Why in the hell should I waste another weekend cleaning and cooking, when, its apparent, you can do what ever you want (legally) on your day off. So I looked at my seriously neglected feet and decided to treat myself. It was a great day and thanks to my hubby screwing up, I had no guilt what so ever. BTW,still not talking to him and not sure what he's having for dinner tonite, I will be at my daughters for an early Mothers Day dinner with them and my granddaughters.

You should have come down and watched us play kickball at the tournament! We had fun!
