12. Treat yourself
Today was a lazy day, as most Sundays are for our family. Sometimes we have a special event going on, and on holiday weekends we sometimes have to drive to Baker so Michael can go back to Vegas or we spend the entire day together as a family because he has to go back the next day. For the most part, Sundays are happily lazy, filled with movies, cleaning, and work (for me). Most of our movies are toddler-centric, since my two youngest kids are only four and three years old. Today I wanted to do something different.
Awhile back, I bought Teen Beach Movie on DVD. You know, I could lie to you and tell you it was for the kids but I feel like we know each other, so I can’t lie. The movie was for me :-) By some crazy circumstance, my/our DVD was ruined. I’ve been pretty upset since then! I already lost the CD (it’s still in our car’s CD player, in our car, three hours from home). Anyway, my husband felt bad about that, since I really do love the movie. So he tried to surprise me Saturday morning by claiming he was running to the market when in reality he was going to Target to buy me another copy. Alas, they were sold out! Kudos to him for trying to do something beyond sweet, and actually he ended up doing something much sweeter! Instead of that DVD, he came home with “Now You See Me”, a movie I saw three times in theatres, including once with him. We get date nights about once every three months, and that movie was one we actually got to see together *gasp* We wanted to watch it last night, but I didn’t home from the game until well past midnight so that didn’t happen.
I talked to my mom, who agreed to watch the kids for a few hours this afternoon so Ryan and I could watch the movie! We settled in with our snacks and sodas, and we actually got to watch a movie for once! We had a great time discussing the movie, debating parts of it, and just hanging out. So by treating myself to a movie day with my husband, I also got to treat him. A win-win!
When was the last time you treated yourself? What’s your favorite way to treat yourself or others? Post it in the comments!
