Mothers are on duty 24/7/365 and people wonder why we get crabby? Ha. I think we should ban together and get legislation passed that declares at least 6 days a year as “NATIONAL MOMMY’s DAY OFF”.

I would give you a day off if I had one to give. But alas, no rest for the weary. Does it help to know you are in the company of about a bajillion other moms who feel the same way? Nah. I didn't think so. But still loving the picture and am ready print it out as a note card for everytime someone asks me for something. Just flash it at them! Your picture totally sums up my week.

That is the GREATEST idea EVER! After I had my 1st, I actually went through withdrawal from the hospital. I had a nurse on call, free (good) food arriving any time, and someone cleaning up after me. For about 2 days after we came home, I just wanted pancakes whenever I felt, but I didn’t want to ask my mom or husband to do it. I wanted free hospital pancakes dammit. I still think of them... I have been in the hospital for non-birthing reasons, and it SUCKED b/c I was in excruciating abdominal pain the whole time sharing a room with a drunk smelly lady who crapped her bed and the floor, so I didn’t get to eat. It SUCKED! I was in pain meds for the duration, so I didn’t get to enjoy the rest time. Plus, it was before kiddos, so I didn’t really appreciate the time off. I did get to go on a cruise a few months ago with the women in my family, but I had to share a cabin w/ my mom and sister. I was the one staying in the room the whole time napping. Seriously. They made fun b/c I kept wanting to go back and sleep. I was the only one with toddlers, so I got sympathy for that. I miss the cruise ship bed comforter, even if I had to watch CNN 24/7. Thanks for the idea. I will give it considerable thought. Holy crabs. That is the GREATEST idea EVER! After I had my 1st, I actually went through withdrawal from the hospital.

It hasn't worked yet, because I have been unfortunately healthy. :) Get sick, then don't take care of yourself, (not difficult to do), then wait to go to the doctors until you get really sick and they have to admit you to the hospital. bam. day off. It may not be the spa, but you will have people waiting on you. you also can catch up on the sleep and reading you have been wanting to do, along with some tv. You might even score a bonus of flowers! Do you think there might be something wrong if this actually does sound somewhat appealing to me? yeah. thought so. here is my secret plan and I will share it with you.

Ha. That hasn't happened since I was about 6 months pregnant. However, my husband and I have agreed that we each get "a night off" once a week. So, every Tuesday when he gets home I get to leave and do whatever I want for as long as I want. It's sweet. This week I read a book, uninterrupted, for 1 1/2 hours. Then I helped him. Next week I am going out to dinner with a girlfriend. That will take longer than 90 minutes... Sleeping 9 hours in a row? Ha.
