I don't get what the big deal is with manicures and pedicures. I do not like getting them. I find no joy in it at all. I feel awkward, alone and weird the whole time. I was getting them because I'm supposed to be doing something for myself. I feel like it is a waste of $45. I'm not getting any more.
On the other hand, I don't have anything to do for me, so at least getting my nails done I can sit in a chair rather than stand at Starbucks and have nowhere to go since its always packed.
Does the place you go massage?! Or do paraffin wax treatments? I love that stuff! I also usually go with a friend so I have someone to talk to.
I am awful at painting my own nails. I can't stay within the lines so I spend the $. Unless I go to a spa it really isn't relaxing and all that enjoyable.

Mostly, I like to sit in the massage chair and let my feet soak.

There is a massage chair when you get the pedicure, but those always kinda hurt my back so its not too enjoyable. No paraffin or anything and I have no friends to go with. Whomp whomp.

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS
I went to Sears at lunch and got this for $14.99! It's an XL because that's all they had, but it fits well enough. I almost cried in the dressing room! I can wear this with Target ribbed tanks (2 layered) that I will wear again! I want to cry now because it worked out!
I didn't have high hopes because I stepped in gum on my way to the mall. I am Charlie Brown.

Speaking of messing with naps, my child is asleep in her carseat and I'm waiting doe her to wake up to I can go in the gym instead of sitting outside!
I am a mess with naps person. If I'm scheduling something I don't do it during naptime, but if somebody else is I go when they schedule it and Ada survives. I also have always been that way with her, eating and sleeping never happen at the same time in a day and she's adapted to our not very scheduled life.

$45?!?!?!
I hope you are getting a shoulder massage too.
Yea because I get the Gel, otherwise the polish chips off the day I get it done. Some colors of the gel have chipped the day after. I have really bad, thin nails. Nothing I have done has ever helped them.
No massage, but they do rip the hair out of my eyebrows which bumps up the cost. Ahhh, relaxation at its finest!

Me too. Plus the skin on feet gets so hard (even with lotion applied daily!) and I have zero patience for giving my own pedicure.
They don't do too much with my feet honestly. My feet get soft when they soak so they just leave them and scrub a bit. Then I have ugly feet anyway, even with wasting my money lol.

I would totally do a fish pedi if I had the opportunity to.
my mom did the fish pedicute in THailand and said it freaked her out know fish were eating all the crap off her feet. It was like $2 though so she tried it.
I love pedicures! I have the worst cracked, calloused heels. So pedicures make my feet nice and pretty for a few weeks. Plus I get to sit in a chair in the quiet with no one climbing on me.
This is exactly why I love them. I can just sit - no computer, no kids, just me, the pedicure guy and US Weekly/People/InTouch.

But what do you do when you have to have your fingers wrapped in foil to get the damn gel off?! I sit there and every 5 mins they say "Oh don't drop your phone!" since its not like I can hold a magazine and turn pages when my fingers are wrapped in so much foil that I feel like an antenna trying to get HBO.
I roll my eyes at the lot of you who wont leave the house when it's your child's nap time or if the child hasn't napped. I get it that having a cranky baby is not fun but I refuse to be a slave to my child's naps.
Right there with you. Luckily, C naps best when I'm wearing him.

All the nap talk is intersting to me. I think I am a slave to naps, then when we mess with them, he does great. But I work, so this is two days a week we are talking about.
I just got those sea bands bracelets, I look like I am going to the gym in 1983. They are helping a little. Tomorrow I am getting acupuncture to combat my nausea. I hope it helps, I am going at this guns blazing. I don't want to feel sick all day every day for months on end like last time.
My birthday is in a few days. I'm getting depressed about it. Not because I'm going to be a year older, but because I always feel unappreciated right around this time. No one ever does anything over the top for me. H won't get me a present or do anything for me. And I don't need him to and I won't ask him to but I want him to want to do something for my birthday. I just don't want to have to prompt him to do it.
At the same time any attention called to my birthday makes me kind of embarrassed. Growing up, we were always traveling for the 4th, and we usually left on my birthday, so there was rarely any fanfare for me and I have gotten used to it.
((Hugs))
Sometimes I get that way about my birthday. I have had a few that have really sucked. My husband is not the best about giving gifts and not the worst. I normally don't bother with prompting him because it's just an exercise in frustration. He just ends up telling me to get what I want and try to keep it under a certain amount. I figure it's his fault if I buy a pair of Ray Bans that cost more than he said to spend. The best thing about this is that I get what I want. I also call my friends and invite them to the micro brew or to my house for Frito pies. Most of my friends are the same way.
This has nothing to do with naps or nails. I sometimes lurk on a FB moms page called "young moms uncensored" because it is SUCH a train wreck. It's geared towards young/teen moms as a place where they can ask questions etc. it's so bad. I found it because a girl on my news feed liked some asinine meme off of that page, so I followed it there. I feel like a jerk, but I judge 90% of what is on there. It's mostly the spelling and the text speak that makes me cringe, but there are some real parenting gems present as well.
MH just brought K to McDonalds. I know some of you would never feed that to your kids but I think it is cute. He ate some nuggets and some of daddies burger and than they played on the indoor playground.

DH finally brought Adam ( 4.5 years old) to the one around the corner from my home. I avoided taking him for years because for some reason I felt that he would maybecome home with some type of nasty disease. LOL. They went a month or so ago and it was apparently super awesome...and clean. I guess I was worrying about a nasty dirty ball pit, but they son't have those anymore. Can you imagine playing in the ball pit and finding a poo? Ew.
1. Fish pedicures are illegalin the States because there is no way to sanitize the fish after they're done with you, which men's they have to be distroyed afterwards. I'd totally get one if I go to Thailand or somewhere else where they do them though.
2. I want an at-home gel manicure kit so bad.
3. I made an amazon wish list for what I want for my birthday and told my family about it. I keep stalking it to see if my parents, brother, or H have gotten anything off of it. My birthday is on Tuesday and nothing has been purchased off my list.

I think its incredibly selfish to sacrifice your childrens sleep for yourself. Kids NEED sleep. And there is nothing worse to me than a cranky child because their parents won't take the time to let them rest and recharge.
We aren't slaves to naptime, but I think sleep is important for kids so we make it a priority.
Maybe. However if i have made plans to see certain people at specific times and my child has refused a nap, I am not going to cancel. It isn't like it is something that happens every day.
Yeah. I prefer my kids to nap but trying to plan things with other people around THEIR kid's nap irritates me. It's like hellooooo I have 2 kids so the outing can't entirely revolve around the other kid's nap. I'm fine skipping a nap to hangout but not dictating the schedule around someone else who won't do the same.
