Day to myself

jlaOK · June 2013

I work PT 4 days per week and DS is in daycare on the days that I work. This basically means that I am home with him every Friday. The reason I went to PT was to have some additional time with him, and although some days are challenging, I really love it.

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and DS is 3, and this combination means that I'm exhausted from keeping up with him all day. So I decided to pay the drop-in rate for daycare this Friday and have the day to myself. I want to get a pedicure and grocery shop by myself (a mom luxury). I feel a tiny bit guilty (mostly about spending money for the drop-in) but I'm doing my best to push the guilty thoughts out of my head. Is it Friday yet?

Don't feel guilty! I was working FT and DD was in DC FT when I was pregnant with DS. I took 2 or 3 days off from work during my last month so I could get stuff done and took DD to DC all day. It was well worth it!
