A Day Off

Today I took what I like to call a "Mental Health Day."  Things have been a bit insane in the world of the 4th graders, and sadly, as their teacher, I am lumped into that "insane" category.

So today seemed like a lovely day to take off!  And man, was it lovely!  The weather was perfect, the little darling slept until 7 and then scooted off to daycare around 9, I got a little pampered...

I met with my hero, Becky, to get my hair cut and styled.  She really is amazing, and if you need a hair stylist, let me know.  She didn't cut much off today, but she always makes me feel like I look good.  (Of course, I often change my mind when I see pictures, but anyway...)

After my appointment, I moseyed on over to the consignment shop where I just happened to have a $20 credit!  I went ahead and used all that up, and then went to the mall - All By Myself.  It's been a while since that happened, and let me just tell you, it was lovely.  Mason is almost always a good shopper, and I never mind taking him with me, but there's just something special about being alone and not lugging around diapers and strollers. 

After my alone time at the mall, Terry and I headed to Waco to go to one of my most favorite places:

Yummy, yummy, yummy.

Here's what I ate:

And...

Yeah, I'm not embarrased.  And it was delicious.

After lunch, we walked around James Avery and Target, and we of course got a little something for the little man:

Then we picked Mason up from daycare.  Mom and I went to Toys R Us and got a couple of Christmas gifts, and then we watched our Veggie Tales, ate some pizza, and zonked out for the night.

Doesn't it sound like a lovely day!  It was, and I'm SO glad I was able to have it!
