Two Lines On a Stick

A journal and commentary about my pregnancy and raising my first child- Bailey- born in April 2007... I am a stay-at-home-mom and I am always looking for ways to earn or save money... Also some other random stuff as it happens...

Just a quick brag

This one's about my husband. For Valentine's Day, he gave me a new day planner. (I had actually been wanting one). When he gave it to me, he was like "What's the date today?" I opened it to the 14th, and a piece of paper fell out. He had made four coupons for a DAY TO MYSELF where he will watch Bailey all day and I can sleep or read or leave the house all day and do whatever I want. He also said if I wanted a weekday he could take the day off work. He has like a million vacation days. I don't think I would ask him to do that, but I am definitely going to take him up on this VERY SOON!

He gives me time to get stuff done and never minds watching Bailey. But I always feel like he is watching her so I can go get something done. I feel guilty just taking time away to relax. Like I am slacking and "sticking him" with the kid by himself. I shouldn't feel that way; I know he loves here and it's his responsibility too. The Mommy Guilt thing is just so hard sometimes. I feel the need to be there, all the time, making sure EVERYTHING gets done (my way).

Anyway, that was the best gift he could have given me. Well that and some hot lovin' of course ;) Um... yeah.

    Hi- you don't know me but I clicked on your link from Rachel Hyser's blog. I was just out blog surfing- Anyway I'm an nurse and momma- so at home and work I take care of people. I also face that guilt sometimes. Then I remind myself if I don't take care of myself- I can't take care of others. Just letting you know I empathize. (is that spelled right) : ) Maurine

    WOOHOO!!!! GREAT GIFTS!!!!! Have fun on your days "off" and don't you dare feel guilty. Not only does daddy need time with Bailey, but Bailey needs time alone with daddy. This is coming from someone who didn't leave my daughter's side for 15 months and when I finally did, I felt horrible at first. Now my daughter says See ya when I am leaving her with daddy, cause they get each other 100%!
