Mark really outdid himself for Mother's Day this year, and I'm here to tell you all about it.
One day next week, I get to:
... go on a breakfast date with my Isaac
... receive a 60-minute massage at a local spa (I KNOW!!!)
... go on a date with Ella, to a bookstore {which includes Starbucks drinks}
... come home to a prepared lunch
To top it all off, Mark arranged for me to go away, overnight, with just my sweet Audra.
All because he loves me. And he knows that one of the things I miss these days is a little quiet. So he has taken two days off work and is making it happen.
I admit, I feel a little funny about the whole: "Happy Mother's Day! Here's your gift to GET AWAY FROM ALL OF US!" idea.
But only when you put it that way.
The truth is, I am really looking forward to it. [Just me and Audra? My sweet little girl to snuggle up with, take walks with, read-a-book-while-she's-in-my-arms with? It sounds pretty blissful.] I plan to sleep, read, journal, eat well, and miss my husband. And come home all refreshed and happy to be back at it.

How wonderful!! I so loved the times Mickey would take Hannah somewhere so I could just be home with my "baby" for a while. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteStacy that night away does sound absolutely fantastic. You definitely shouldn't feel funny about getting away from being a mom to five, but simply rest to return rejuvenated. I know you deserve a break. What a great husband.
ReplyDeleteI think he wuvs you. :) Oh, enjoy, my friend- it sounds so lovely! There is something to getting away from them that makes you just so happy to come home to them again... fresh perspective! (((love you)))
ReplyDeleteMark...you are a keeper ;-) Stacy, you are blessed, enjoy your sweet gifts. (I know you will soak in all of them.)!!

Wonderfully planned, and greatly deserved!! ENJOY every minute!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful. There is no shame in getting some space. It makes for a better mommy in the long run.
ReplyDeleteI had a great moms day too...but this week I've been sick so haven't posted the pics yet :o)
Enjoy your time, my friend....that massage sounds rockin' too!
Wow! That sounds perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking this Mother's Day felt so different from other Mother's Days for me. I used to (at your stage) just long for some time AWAY; a BREAK. This year all I wanted was to spend time with my kids; I was worried the day would go by and we wouldn't have much time together. My, how times have changed, having them a little older! :)
