the other day my husband took the kids to the park and told me I should do something for myself during that time and told me he would be gone no matter what for 2hrs... Bless him!
I did my nails because I never do a manicure - as we all know with the paying and the amount of wash up it is a bit of waste of time and money (if you get them done). I enjoyed the time on my own very much and I admired my nails. Then my older daughter came back, ask me "what's that mummy", touch them and chipped them. Well you know what it made me laugh, so much for nothing...
And I didnt feel a better mum because of the nails, but I felt I was a lucky wife and have a very nice husband!
I will ask my husband for another two hours sometimes, but will take a book instead or run to the hairdresser
