we had a BLAST today!

Man, we had such a great day today.
We woke up, and as per our usual Saturday Family Tradition, we got donuts at Dunkin.
Then we went to Once upon a child and got some more winter clothes (it's chilly here right now!)
Then we went to the Plano International Festival. Got some Thai food, watched Aztec, Indian, German dancers (there were more, but we didn't stay the whole time) and played at the park.


THEN we went to our realtor's annual client appreciation picnic, and had a blast, as usual there. The kids rode a pony, roasted "smarshmallows" and bounced in a bounce house out at "the farm."

THEN.. (yes, it gets better, at least for mommy!) Mommy got a deep tissue massage, a full hour! Wow.. I feel SO relaxed now.. let's hope my neck and shoulders are still feeling better in the morning. Otherwise I'm calling the doc on monday about more muscle relaxers. I'm doing everything I can think of.. relaxing music, hot baths, moist heat compresses, gentle stretching, etc.. and still can't get some of the muscles in my neck and back to un-knot themselves! Oh well.
My kids are amazing. It makes up for it!

What a wonderful day!
M, be sure you are getting enough water every day. 1 oz of water for every 2 lbs of you. Dehydration can leave your muscles sore. GL!

Thanks mizT.
Think I may not be getting enough vit D, Pot. and Calcium. So I've started to try to up that too.
I didn't think I'd feel "bruised" after the massage yesterday, too many endorphins I guess.. but today I am feeling a bit bruised! But better than yesterday!
