After the last few days I’ve had, I felt it was time to pamper myself. Although I wasn’t able to go to a day spa, I did have an opportunity to go to my favorite hair salon.
I love going to get my hair cut, because I get treated like a queen. I am offered a beverage and it comes in a beautiful wine glass, and no it wasn’t wine, it was this morning so no drinking allowed that early, *wink*.
I am then given a cape so not to ruin my blouse and am then escorted to the back of the salon where I will get a wonderful hair washing. It was the most relaxed I have felt in weeks. The scalp massage is divine and extremely invigorating. Now, if only I could get my mind to relax, it would have been a perfect day.
Although, I was getting pampered and loving every minute of it, I couldn’t keep my mind from going through the enormous list of things to do. Do you ever feel that way? I tried to relax, but the more I tried the more I thought of things I should be doing, how frustrating!
Well, the day of pampering soon came to an end when I arrived to a house full of cranky children and pets. I calmed them down and cleaned up and was quickly reminded that I am not a queen, but just a mom with many responsibilities. Oh, well, the morning was relaxing.
Now I am back to my long list of to-do’s..
The Chronicles continue….

Yep I know exactly what you mean about not being able to turn your mind off. I’m pretty sure mine never shuts down ever. LOL. I used to be like that when I would get my nails done. I would be relaxed loving ever second of it but feel anxious because of all the things that had to be done that day. Sounds like you have a wonderful hair salon you go to!
