A little selfishness never hurt....right??

Why is it that every time I make any plans for myself.....which just for the record is very very very infrequent.....something else happens to screw it up?!?!?!

Yesterday was Mother's Day "Off" as Mallory and Brad like to point out....and I had scheduled among other domestic errands to have a lunch date with Brad, go get a much needed haircut, and get my nasty claws taken care of!! Well, obviously from the tone of this post none of that happened!

After wasting the morning sitting on the couch watching trash TV, I met Brad for lunch, placed our order and settled into an adult conversation when my cell phone rang!!! Mallory's school saying she was running a fever and had fallen asleep on the floor playing. Seriously.....nothing ever happens on the "mother's day off" when I'm at home scrubbing toilets.....no, only when I want to spend time with ME!...So of course I rush to her school only after grumbling about it!! They mentioned her temperature was 100.5, but when I checked it at home it was 102.7....great, here we go!!! She kept saying she wasn't feeling bad, that she was just tired....and boy was she.....she slept for the rest of the day and was only up two hours before going back to sleep for the night only to wake up this morning to get something to drink and then back in my bed to sleep until 10. Her fever seems down right now and she is enjoying the morning watching TV......but back to me......a little selfishness never hurt....right??

I just want to be able to take care of me sometimes!!!! And to top it all off.....we had a dinner party to go to tonight....my parents were coming to Tupelo to take care of the kids......but now everything is up in the air!!!

KIDS.....what would I do without them!!!! I guess just get my haircut and nails done...but now, that is not much fun is it???!!!!
