Afternoon off
6
Sat, 08-05-2006 - 2:43pm

I'm happy as a little clam (how happy *is* a clam, anyway? LOL!). My DH has given me the afternoon off, and tonight my niece is coming to babysit, because we have Date Night! A good day for me today! Michael took the kids and went to his dad's to hook up the new computer we gave him for his birthday last night. Then they're all going to the beach. It's a beautiful day here. They'll be back in time for Michael & I to go out to dinner.

I treated myself. I went and got a pedicure and manicure. I got a French manicure on my nails, and it looks so pretty :) So much better than I could have done myself. I didn't get the fake nails put on, because while mine are not that long, they're long on my fingers, so I don't really need them. It looks OK anyway. All set for my Date Night. I think I'll fix myself up really nicely and tell Michael I want to go somewhere dressy. Maybe we'll even go dancing!

So I'm sitting on the back porch with a limeade and my laptop and no kids to watch! I'm not even cleaning the house or doing laundry today. It can all wait until tomorrow. I have peace & quiet. I feel like I'm in some Alien Land, LOL! Such a rare occurrence around here. Maybe I'll take a nap. Or maybe I'll go shopping. That's always fun :)

I've kinda been in a funk lately. I think Michael is hoping it will improve my mood to have some time to myself. I'm sure he's right. Four kids can really wear you out!!

hmmm yay for Saturdays! I got five hours of sleep in a row today! lol. DH takes Dylan on Saturdays...well not really takes him but sits with him in the living room, so I get to come back to the bedroom and sleep and be on my computer. It's a fabulous feeling, I almost feel human again.

Glad you're getting a break too!!

I hope your date went well. I didn't read this until after I e-mailed you last night and think it's funny that I'm complaining that I need a date and swear I'm gonna go to a spa and that's exactly what you were doing. Let us know how the date went.
