Spa Day for Mom


Around 6 pm Philip asked me if I had ever been to an all-day spa. He wanted to know what one cost and I told him about $100 (I could be wrong) but suggested that he could get a mani-pedi for about $40. Ends up our whole bizarre conversation was a prelude to one of the those mother-son moments when you realize that the eight hours spent at the amusement park slowly turning into a giant freckle while paying out the nose for greasy amusement park food made your only boy want to treat you to a spa day for being the best mom in the world. Not a terrible end to a day that started with me chopping off locks of his hair (by request) so that the swim goggles would be easier to put on. I think that Philip is my gift from the Universe for learning patience.

  1. Philip est beau comme un coeur!
    Il ressemble étrangement à sa mere et un soupçon dans le regard de la grand mère. Le reste je n'en doute pas que c'est le papa!
    Oui c'est un cadeau de l'univers pour sa maman, mais je suis persuadé que Philip sait que sa maman est son plus beau cadeau de l'univers...
    Amitiés,
    Marius(Momo)
