Let me back up a few days before Mother's Day when I was starting to go "crazy"... My dear sweet child refused to sleep through the night (Now if she were 6 weeks old I could understand this but she was 16 MONTHS old). Keeping both Jake and I up in the night while we listened to her howl in the other bedroom. I couldn't even take a shower without her pounding on the shower door. Jake was working alot that week and couldn't help at home and the church callings were piling up! Now that you know my "soapbox".... you can maybe see what is coming next. Jake got home on Thursday and while I am whining to him I told him "I don't want to be a mom, I don't want to be a wife, I just want to be ME." To which he told me that I could have my Mother's day gift early if I would like and I was provided with a day at the spa full of of relaxation and serenity at the Brickhouse Retreat. They waited hand and foot on me and even gave me sparkling cider ( in a hefty wine glass) and delicious strawberries to feast on. All I could say was "ahhhhhhhhh... this was worth it."
Thank YOU Jake
