I am sitting here in a quiet room with borrowed time. The only thing that sheds any light is the screen from my laptop that is sitting on my lap which is draped in a heavy blanket. Yesterday was busy - my first day back at work, Liam's first day at his new preschool, Parent/Teacher conferences, etc.
Today is blank....except for an oil change I scheduled for 3:50 this afternoon. My husband and I fight over who gets to take the car in to get the oil changed. Actually, I imagine that we might have to fight over it, but then he just lets me go because he knows how much I like it. Seriously, its 30 minutes of amazingness. It has fluffy couches, cable tv, free coffee and smoothie bar, snacks, and People magazine. The first time I went I took my two younger kids, not know what to expect and spent the whole time cursing myself for wasting a perfectly good smoothie bar and magazine selection. So now it is my own personal get-away. It costs less than a massage, includes snacks, and I leave feeling like I've accomplished something for the day. And bonus - I don't have to take any clothes off.
Today I am thankful for having a break.
I'll get to leave my kids at home and hightail it off to the dealership, and right at about the perfect time of the day. Heck! I might even stop at TJ Maxx!
Welcome to my life of glamor.

It's nice to know that they provide you free coffee and snacks as you wait for your car to be tuned. It's a great way to entertain patrons and make sure they'll come back when their services are needed. Anyway, I love the fact that you're giving yourself a break after your tiring work. Maybe you can suggest getting a coffee machine for your office. :)
