On Thursday I took a Day of Decadence.
I've had a splitting headache for over a week now. I've never been one to have headaches unless it's part of getting the flu, so it's really a mystery why this one has been going on over a week and won't go away even with taking the maximum allowable Tylenol or ibuprofin.
At any rate, it woke me at 4:30 that morning. I asked Mom to take the twins to daycare, called my boss at 8, went back to bed and slept till 10:30am. Yes, I actually TOOK THE DAY OFF--not for appointments or to clean or to watch the kids. I DID IT FOR ME. Not since BC (before children) had I done something like this. It was tantamount to going sky diving for me--actually taking a day off FOR ME. It felt so daring! So crazy!
After I got out of bed at 10:30, I took a long bubble bath. Then I did nothing other than read People magazine and watch Judge Judy in the afternoon! It was so decadent, I really felt like someone must feel after they've committed some big crime and gotten away with it.
Now if I could get rid of this pounding, searing headache that has lasted a week...

Terri - good for you...this is something all moms - especially SMs like us - HAVE to do to keep our sanity and to be good for our kids! I hate that it was preceded by that nasty headache but am still glad you did it!
