My Manicure!

So, I decided to go a get a manicure this week. I've only done it one other time in my life and thought I would do it too since the girls had done it. Well, everything was going just fine except for that the Oriental women in the salon were talking and laughing in their language. It felt like they we talking about me and my children. Grandma was in there too and felt exactly the same way. But that's not the story! The lady started putting lotion on my arms and hands (which was great). The wierdest part was that she started punching me super hard on my shoulder and down my arm with her fist. I was shocked, was she mad at me for something? I mean, these were like the slugs you get from a big brother right in the shoulder that really smart! I looked at the kids faces and their eyes were really wide. Like they were saying, "why is that lady hitting my mommy?" I couldn't take it anymore and told her it hurt so she eased up a bit. I'm totally bruised on my right shoulder from her... I'm not that wimpy of a person, but wow! Afterwards I thought, "maybe I was on candid camera or Howdy Do it!" It would have been an awesome episode if not because I'm sure our expressions and reactions were pretty funny! Has this kind of thing ever happened to anyone else? Is this customary for a manicure?

I know exactly where you went! Coupons in the Digger? Had the same experience to the T. It was my first manicure, also, so I don't know if it's normal, but Tara is pretty experienced and didn't think so. The manicure wasn't very good either, but the pedicure was great. I think I would try somewhere else next time...

No Michelle! This is NOT normal...I swear! Where did you go? Depending on what manicure you select (regular, spa, etc) they do different things...they usually do a massage...not pinching or hitting!

It was the place right by Costa Vida in Y.C. And yes, I won't be going there again!

That's so funny! I've never had a manicure and now I'm a little afraid.

I'm laughing my head off, I'm glad they didn't do that to the little girls, that is so weird.

My parenting plan!!

I have been thinking a lot lately of what I need to teach my kids to help them become independant physically, spiritually and mentally so when they turn 18 they will be able to survive on their own. The last 9 years has flown by so quickly I can't believe it. Nine more years and my first child will be old enough to be on his own. That is a real wake up call for a mother who hasn't prepared her children for those important days. I realize that I have gone on way to long without a list of what needs to be learned and done by what age so that my kids will not be horrified when they get out into the world alone. So, I've come up with a list of most everything I can think of that would be important for my kids to know and learn and what ages they should be capable. Of course, every child is different and is capable of different things at different ages. Some learn things faster and are more motivated. Others would like to just live in the home cave for the rest of their lives and have no motivation to do any of it. So, I am including my fairly flexible plan. But if you let too many years slip by, you may need to up the work to fit everything in. I got most of my ideas from a very experienced LDS author (Merilee Boyack) who has raised several children successfully! So, hopefully you find this as helpful as I do!
