Best Part of the Day-
Dropped the kiddies off to my mom/dad's so I could go to a local resort/spa for a pedicure and massage. I felt a large sense of relief right when we arrived at my parents'. The kids were super psyched to see a smiley G-ma Barbie and she was naturally thrilled to see them (I was stoked to deliver them!) I was right on time for my pedicure and it began with a complimentary glass of champagne and a warm lavendar neck wrap....lovely, lovely. It ended with a neck massage and fancy orange sherbert colored toesies.
Post-spa activities I coerced my long-time friend, T. to meet me at the bar adjacent to the spa and we drank cocktail after cocktail with much laughter....ahhhhh. It was all so necessary and wonderful.
(Thanks Mom!)

Worst Part of the Day-
On our way to my parental home, Scarlet and Little Man L. were physically fighting with each other. The origin of their car seat brawl was inexplicable to me. He was screaching and she would lean over and grab/pinch his arm with intent to harm. This would cycle over and over. At one point I gave out my rock band whistle (it is VERY loud) in the car to get their attention and almost pulled the car to the shoulder of the highway (like it was 1976 and I was my dad angry with screaming kids in the vehicle...)
They were just awful to each other and I am certain neither one knows how or why that started. Friday the 13th???
Geez. Calmez-vous!
