Yesterday was a great day. DH and I took DS to the local water garden and made homemade mac and cheese for lunch. Later that day DH told me that he wanted me to finally take that alone time I have been needing. I usually say I will and then don't because I get sidetracked with family stuff.
So I go and window shop at a few stores and just walk around outside and end up at Barnes and Noble where I read some amazing cook books and some craft books. I was only gone for 1-2 hours but I felt AMAZING!!! We spent that evening playing as a family. Maybe I will start trying harder for a bit of alone time...I felt refreshed! And to top it off my DH and LO seemed to have a blast. DH said they listened to music, danced, played on the floor, and he played DS guitar.
And a picture of DS and DH at the water gardens to top it off

Re: AW: Huh...I guess I did need that! AKA Balance!
I'm so happy for you! I'm trying to find that balance as well...it has been great the few times I've managed to really get away.
My bday was last week and DH is Monday, so Monday night we're doing a mini-spa day together. I can't wait!
It can be hard! Some weeks I really need a bit of time and I still don't take it. DH is really good about helping me though. I think it is something I need to focus on. Have fun at your mini spa. DH and I love to do stuff like that at home! We take a bath together and give massage and even facials! When I was pregnant he even painted my toes (It was to funny and sweet...he made a mess but it was fun). Are u actually going to a spa? That will be so nice!!!! Happy birthday!
