Total Nirvana... at Health Food Store??
I had to work today... only about 4 1/2 hours, but I dont "do" Saturdays typically, so I was bummed. They needed me - - I went. I was stressed when I went to the Health Food Center where Monty is working part time on weekends to take him to eat after I got off and the guy that does reflexology up there was working. I took Monty to eat and then when we went back, Monty made me sit down and I got my very first reflexology massage.
OOOOHH
MYYYYY
GAAAWD
Have you ever??
I'm absolutely HOOKED.
Now let me tell you - - I LOVE massages - but it takes SO MUCH for me to ever go - - take 3 hours out of my already crammed full schedule? Puhleeze.
But this - - this is 45 minutes in a chair to end ALLLL chairs, with warm towels over your feet and hands and a man rubbing your feet in ALL the right spots. Then when you think it cannot get much better he comes up and masages your hands.
As the chills were coursing throughout my body, and I was slipping in to complete relaxation, I realized that I was having a totally erotic feeling foot and hand massage by an 80 year old, very sweet man in hte corner of a health food store.
Pshaa - - who cares, right?
I'm going again next week.
The Husband hit a home run today...

I HAVE A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS
WELL, APPARENTLY I NEED TO CLEAR A FEW THINGS UP.
1. I AM A PRINCESS. I mean in every sense of the work. Not the Diana kind, more the Fergie kind - - always trying to please people and make people happy and failing miserably. Not only that, but I also like to be treated like the proverbial Princess. No scones and clotted cream tea times, but the Husband has always treated me like a Princess and I have gotten used to it. I am a freaking Princess guys... and you know what? I am not apoligizing for it.
2. I am so damn VAIN. I know it. Even with extra baggage and the beginnings of crows feet, I am a vain little vulture. My Dad is 67 and he is still vain. I come by it honestly, I am not going to change, and I am comfortable with that. We all have a bit of a vanity issue just by being bloggers, dont you think? I know I am a damn good singer. I have had opportunity after opportunity and i took some and left some and thats my decision. The fact that I am not a Broadway star does not mean that I am a failure. I know I am good. I'm vain, and you know what? I am not apoligizing for it.
3. My life is crazy. I have 4 kids, A job, bills and issues. I freaking doggy paddle my way through some days, and I know there are a bajillion others just like me in the world. I get all self absorbed in my shit sometimes like that same bajillions people. I am a self absorbed, vain, Greek-American Princess and you know what? I am not apoligizing for it.
I am also about the most loyal friend you could ever find. I love the people in my life so much, so intensely that I hurt when they hurt and I feel the urge to save them from any mistake or pain they may be feeling... even if it means that I take that pain into myself... an almost fatal flaw of mine on a few occasions. I can make people laugh, typically with ease, even if it is at the risk of making myself look like a fool. I will spend my last dime just to make someone smile. I work hard for my family. I bust my butt to make sure my kids live in a nice house with nice things. They deserve that, and I will do whatever I can to make that happen. There are 50 thousand other things that I could say but I dont feel like I have to anymore. I guess this little "vent" was enough.
Enough is enough.

Awesome feeling
There is nothing that can make a Mom feel better than having their 13 year old wrap their arms around your neck and say to you what my 13 year old said to me today...
"Momma, you are the best thing that ever happened to me..."
Make ya cry.
I have the greatest teenagers. And I am still the coolest chickadee to them. Still.
This weekend, my 14 year old got a phone call from a guy friend, asking her if she wanted to go hang out at their youth ministers house. Instead of going out with her friends she wanted to hang with her Dad and I - and go to the movies. I know eventually she will pick the friends, but it felt so good... ya know? We had the BEST time with the teenagers. (Our younger two were spending the night with the grandparents and thinking they were the lukiest because they got to take baths in their ginormous jacuzzi tub)We sat and a resturant and talked for almost 3 hours and then went to the movies. We came home really late and crashed and it was just an awesome night.
Ask me tomorrow and I might change my mind, but today - - the teenagers a great.
