Princess and I do not get a lot of time one on one. Well, I don't get a lot of time one on one with anyone.. except Scooter (aka little dude). So I make an effort to get out with them one on one. Last night was Princess's turn.
We went to get our nails done- I got a pedicure, a no chip manicure, and a brow wax. Princess had a manicure and a pedicure. It is amazing what cleaned up eyebrows do for you.
Our time was really relaxing we had a chance to chat and just be together. She picked cute colors for her nails and enjoyed getting pampered. They ladies were kind and so patient with her, she got cute designs put on her nails.
Typically, I get maybe 3 pedicures a year, and no manicures--they wear off to fast with my life, but after talking to a bunch of friends I decided to give the no chip one a go. It was a long process! But, I am happy with it. With normal manicures, already, less than 24 hours after getting it, it is already falling apart- this one looks good.
My kidney was really painful during this but it was so very worth it. I need to get a chance to hang out with my kids. I am their mother but I am also their friend. By spending one on one time with them, I can keep our relationship close and intact so they know they can come to me with anything. I will not stand in judgement- I will support them.
We had a good time, and next week its Stinky's turn, his choice: Chuck E Cheese.
Mani Pedi time!

It might be hard for you to pull this off w/ B's schedule but for xmas last year we gave the kids "dates". once a month one kid got to go out w/ one adult. for example, this month I take out J. no other parent or kid has to do a date that month. Usually it costs around $20 total. We've browsed book stores, gone out to eat, done story time at the library...When A had the free Great America tickets and I was going to take her anyway, that counted as her date. This month J and I will be having a nice breakfast and then Xmas shopping for his sisters. You can adjust the schedule but the nice thing was the kids know every month who gets the date. Its been really fun!
