Nobody to blame but myself....

Don't you just love it when someone kindly reminds you, "Well, you've got nobody to blame but yourself"? Most of the time they are right - although my mom once blamed Kate's neediness on the fact that we took a small miniature "babymoon" after Kate was born so nobody held her or fed her but us for the first 48 hours after she was born! I think it was less that and more the fact of - she just reeeaaalllllly loves her mommy! and.....I think I know why.
Two things most people know about me.

1. I love my family more than anything in this world

and

2. I am a TAD high maintenance.

So is it any surprise that I am acquainting my children with some of the things I enjoy the most? Candles, bubble baths, the occassional glass of champagne (for me not the kids), dim lights, good music and heated towels - ideally all at once. So for Valentine's Day Jay and I bought each of the girls a new Webkinz and outfit plus some chocolate but their extra special treat was what I call a "relaxing bath." Now in the past, a relaxing bath just meant they didn't have to wash their hair. But for Valentine's Day - I did it up right! The girls got to put on a swimsuit, I put on some good music, lit some candles, made them kid cocktails - applejuice with a cherry, and lots of bubbles. I even brought them a little snack! What's Valentine's Day without a little pampering, right? Right!
However........At the moment, the girls are outside playing. As Kate ran out the door she yelled, "when I get in, I need a relaxy bath, please." She proceeded to list everything she wanted - candles, bubbles, hot chocolate, "muksic" and a "pupcake!" So go ahead and say it, shout it from the rooftops if you want - I have nobody to blame but myself. I already know.


Don't forget to check out my 40x40 blog, is it really possible that I am that close to the big 4-0?? . No time to worry about that now, i have towels to heat!
