Spa Day

Monday was a rough day. Remy had been rather difficult for the last few days and my nerves were about shot. Nic had informed me at lunch that he had a surprise for me after Remy went to bed that night. I didn't think much of it because surprises around here usually are John Deere stools for the basement or tractors for Remy. Not that those are not exciting just not something to make my heart go pitter patter.
By the end of the day I was really cranky. When Remy wouldn't take his bottle I launched into a tirade about everything that was wrong with my life and then plopped down on the couch beside Nic feeling dejected. Nic handed me Remy and said "Why don't you go feed him his bottle upstairs in the rocking chair and see if you can rock him to sleep.". So I stomped upstairs feeling very sorry for myself and grumbling under my breath because I was sure Nic was going outside to do some fun project while I slaved away putting OUR child to bed. Incidentally Remy went right to sleep.

When I finished putting him to bed I came downstairs and this is what I found.


Nic had made a bubble bath and put our flowers and flower petals, from our wild rose bush outside, all over the bathroom and in the bath. There were candles and classical music was playing. There was even a rolled up towel for behind my neck.
I forgot to take a picture before I got in and messed up the bubble bath but it really looked amazing.

After my bath I came out to the living room and found this.


You can't really tell but its cushions with a blanket on top of it. Besides the bubble bath I got a relaxing massage too!!

What a guy, huh?
