Bible Stories: Self care

And on the seventh day, He rested.   Which is important Bloggy.  You gotta take care of yourself.


And so ta-da!  Here I am on Sunday, Family Fun day.  Except....no family. Yes sadly, the repercussions of the week have all rolled into one cigar Mama is smoking called, Takin' the Day Off.


See,  Mama works hard during the week to do the swimming lessons and the gymnastics and the lovely lovely driving, so if she gets a lot of complainers and haters during the week, she decides maybe  instead of using this thirty dollars to feed my family of five a delicious meal of fro-yo, I will get a mani pedi.  Go figure.

It's a win win for me.  I love my kids. so I love the family bike rides in the afternoons and the apple picking and the baking of pies and all those wonderful things.  Sign me up.  But I also love.....shopping and playing and eating and winking all by my little tiny self in the middle of this crazy place (there is a birthday party going on around me).


Everyone says it in a bunch of different ways:

Happy wife, happy life

If Mama ain't happy, no one ain't happy.

The mother is the nucleus of the household.
