Last Christmas hubby surprised me with a spa gift certificate. Last weekend I finally redeemed it and got a manicure, facial, and pedicure. Hubby, nanna, and grandpa volunteered to babysit Chuck for 3 hours. I was so nervous because it was the longest time I'd ever been away from him. What if he didn't stop crying? What if I didn't leave enough milk? What if Rumpelstiltskin visited the apartment and tricked everyone into giving the baby away? (Hey, you never know.)
As you can probably guess, none of these scenarios happened. They did a great job taking care of Chuck and I ended up with pretty nails and less facial acne. (Yes!) Even though I missed Chuck terribly (and ended up talking to the esthetician about him for most of the time), I'd like to think that little breathers like this will help me to relax and be a better mom.
