Most of my friends and co-workers are frequent fliers. In fact, most of us can repeat the aircraft warnings, and will have our eye masks on, ear plugs in and sleeping pills swallowed before the stew can mention where the seat cushion that can be used as a flotation device is even located. That being said, today I learned a valuable lesson about putting on your own face mask before helping those around you.
Today, I took a long hot bath, with eucalyptus spearmint bubbles, a hot oil treatment for my hair, a sugar scrub for my face and a lavender body scrub. I even did my nails. It was amazing. I was so relaxed. It was the first time in a long time I just pampered myself.
I felt so good I even cooked dinner. I made chicken tortellini with vodka sauce, spinach mushroom olive salad, fresh garlic bread and strawberries with chocolate for dessert. I guess I am a great cook when I am relaxed and not rushed.
So today I learned that if I put the mask on myself--pamper myself, I can be a better mother.
