Beam Me Up! Escaping the Daily Routine with a Spa Day

Have you ever wished that you could push a button and say, "Beam Me Up, Scotty!"? And then, poof, magically you escape from the chaos that is your life on Planet Mom to somewhere else entirely. Or do you remember the commercials from way back when that would show the lady surrounded by barking dogs, screaming kids, and a huge mess, and she would say, "Calgone, take me away!"? Then, the next scene would show her calmly relaxing in a nice bubble bath while the noises around her have been muted. Isn't that a dream that we often face on a daily basis... just for a brief moment to escape and relax?

We've all been there. In fact, it seems to be a law of nature that two mothers of pre-schoolers cannot carry on a phone conversation without at least one child running around in the background or screaming or fighting or making demands. If it ever happens, it should go in the Guinness Book of World Records.

But have we got a surprise for you! At our next MOPS meeting, we will be escaping from the daily routine by having a mini-spa day. We will have several stations set up where you can do your nails, enjoy a back massage, or make a necklace. We will also have a station set up to where we will be wrapping pajamas and writing cards to give to the women and children staying at Springhaven, which is a safe place for victims of domestic violence. The pajamas are being provided by the Earth care group.

So come join us on Monday, April 12th from 9:00am - 11:00am for a fun and relaxing morning as we pamper ourselves for a brief, but desperately needed, period of rest and relaxation. Breakfast is being provided to us by the Earth care group. Hope to see you there!
