If you know Chris, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s totally not a planner, but he pulled off planning mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s day stuff for me this year.&#160; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Chris worked at night for several days before mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s day.&#160; Then, he took Friday off.&#160; I felt really tired Friday morning, so he took Caleb to his music class.&#160; I stayed home with Caris.&#160; Of course, Caris decided to not nap very long, but I still rested.&#160; Then, in the afternoon, Chris sent me to a fancy spa for a 2 hour massage.&#160; This place was nice\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 there was a quiet room with short Japanese tables, cushions, &amp; tea.&#160; Then there was this strange yellow clay room\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and another room where you lay on rocks while you bask in this extraordinary heat.&#160; They had another quiet room with sofas and comfy chairs\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and sleep beds\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 with aromatherapy and cookies (yum!).&#160; There was a wet sauna room and a dry sauna room\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and a jacuzzi.&#160; I got a 2 hour massage, but they also have special rooms for a milk bath and a mud bath.&#160; Interesting.&#160; So before I left the house for this spa place, Chris tells me he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want me back before 5PM.&#160; I laughed because I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know this place had so much stuff there.&#160; And I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve forgotten how much I cherish my quiet, alone time.&#160; As a mom, you rarely have time to yourself.&#160; Even with that truth, it can be such a lonely role.&#160; Seems ironic to say that you can be lonely when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re never by yourself when you have kids, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s true.&#160; So when I got there, I just relaxed and spent some nice time with God.&#160; Before I knew it, it was already 5PM and my breasts were telling that they were way overdue for feeding Caris.&#160; So, i had to quickly take a shower and get home.&#160; I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even use their shower \u00e2\u20ac\u0153pretty me up\u00e2\u20ac\u009d amenities.&#160; They have face toner, a flat iron, blow dryer, sterilized hair brushes, etc.&#160; Fancy, I tell you.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>When I got home, Chris had cut me roses from our backyard (he knows I hate the idea of wasting money on buying flowers).&#160; He had this cute sign saying, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I love you, Mommy,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and there were pics of my kids holding the sign.&#160; Very cute.&#160; Thanks, hubby!&#160; I love you!!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/baby.chriswong.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img-3974.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px;
