As I write this, I’m sitting on a Caribbean island, wearing a string bikini, listening to the clear blue waves crash, and drinking a fruity beverage. The kids are home with their grandparents, and my husband and I are making up for lost time, celebrating that 10th anniversary he missed a couple of months ago. Life is good. So here are my…
Top 10 Reasons Why I Feel Like a New Woman
10) Airport security lines aren’t nearly as daunting when you’re not traveling with a 2-year-old and her full bladder.
9) Food tastes so much better when someone else is cooking it.
8) Not much is more relaxing than sitting in a hot tub at night when everything is pitch black except for the changing colors of the jacuzzi’s inside lights.
7) All inclusive resorts really are ALL inclusive!
6) I’ve been reunited with the rejuvinating powers of uninterrupted nights of sleep and midday naps.
5) After months of reading a page here and a page there, I am actually going to finish The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! Not to mention the fact that I read an entire magazine in one day.
4) It really is ok to have your first alcoholic beverage before noon.
3) The only to-do list I have right now includes eating, sleeping, reading, drinking, and swimming.
2) It’s been days since I heard the word MOMMY.
1) My husband is home safe and sound, and I finally feel like a wife again.
What are you doing this week to pamper yourself?
You shared the secret!! Keep having fun sweets! You deserve it 🙂
Yea!I'm so happy for you. I hope you have a great time getting to know your husband again!
sounds perfect!
I am a little jealous =)
Sounds like you are having a wonderful trip!
Does getting a couple of new tattoos count as pampering?
You just took me back to my honeymoon where I'd like to be right this very second! Enjoy your vacation! What all-inclusive resort are you at?
Yay!!! I'm so happy for you! Enjoy your vacation and that husband of yours!
love it!
congrats on having your hubby back again! im definitely enjoying that part too! we are looking into an all inclusive resort too and cant wait till me new passport comes in with my new name! which did you guys pick?
hope youre enjoying the rest of your trip and happy (belated) anniversary!
Well just reading that made me feel like a new woman! lol… whew, I dont have any plans for when hubby comes home, but i better start making some!
Oh my god, I love this list! I'm going to have to show it to my husband, ha ha! I don't think I could possibly pamper myself right now since we are still unpacking but my husband does a pretty good job at rubbing my back every night =)
I am so, so happy for you! Hope you and your husband are having a fabulous time! Im totally jealous that you're in the Caribbean. Enjoy the ocean and a fruity drink for me. And yes, it really is ok to have a drink before noon!
Sounds pretty damn fantastic to me! Enjoy the rest of your much deserved vacation and get all the pampering, drinks before noon and more your heart desires. We're off to the beach Saturday for a week but it will be more of the just potty trained toddler who only wants to play on the beach all day variety.
How fun! Enjoy your trip 🙂
Sounds like heaven! Glad you're having a great time!!
Sounds awesome! I would love some recommendations for when we go after he gets back! Have fun with your hubby
That sounds heavenly!!
My daily (teeny) pampering ritual is to add whipped cream to the top of my coffee in the morning. Kinda like a Starbucks…without having to leave the house. : )
We just booked a post-deployment Mediterranean cruise. Wheee!!!
Have an amazing time with your husband 🙂
Yes, I totally agree with the above. Have a wonderful, relaxing time with Mr. RC and may your most important decision of the day consist only of what to have for dinner (or lunch, or breakfast)!
I am so excited for you. Well really I am super jealous of you. Have fun
