JD knew exactly what he wanted to get - got the parents in on it at the begining of the month.
2 days before he ran around like crazy and got the card signed (3 different locations). All the while continues to ask me all week where I wanted to go out to eat because that's all I wanted to do - a quiet sit down meal for two has only happened once since Noah was born.
The morning of my b-day I was still under the impression that dinner was happening when and where I chose. Until....... JD called a family meeting on the couch that was to exclude Mommy! After they (kids & JD) came out from under the fort-o-covers, it was decided that we would all pack up and go out to shop and lunch. At which point I realized JD probably forgot to get something from the kids and I was going to be picking it out. Little did I know.....
They were taking me to my appointment at the SPA for the DAY!!!!!
I was there from 10:30 'till 3:00. First, was the very hot, very relaxing, very QUIET aromatherapy bath! Then the 1 hour massage. Then a grilled chicken salad. Then a facial from heaven. Then a manicure and pedicure!!!!! WOW - I swear a whole new person emerged from the spa that day. Quite a re-juvenating experience.
This week I was thankful for........
- HEAVENLY PAMPERING that made for an unforgetable birthday.
- earlier bedtimes for the kids
- a comfy couch
- baby sitting help from parents
- Old Chicago's deep dish pizza - the closest thing to actual Chicago deep dish from Gino's Pizza.

Gino's Pizza - makes my mouth water just thinking about it! Oh...back in the mission trip days!
You spoiled little girl! Isn't a day at the spa just the best? That was "my treat for myself" on vacation this past summer at Lake of the Ozarks. I swear I came out looking younger and skinnier! I can hardly wait to do it again...hopefully on a beach in Hawaii next time!
Way to go, husband and parents!
