should I feel guilty?

I have the day off of work and still took DS to day care.  I am trying to clean up the house and get a few errands done.  I would love to take a nap, but I feel so guilty that I don't think I will fall asleep.  Please remind me that I shouldn't feel bad!!

    In order to be a good mom you need your rest and alone time every once in awhile.  Sleep, if not you will regret it later.  Don't feel guilty. If I had a chance I would do it.

    dont feel guilty i am SAHM and sometimes would love some alone time.  I look forward to his naps just to chill out.  Do what you have to do.  If you  need to take nap go for it.

    Don't feel bad! I often run errands, go grocery shopping, get my nails done, etc if I get done with work before it's time for the nanny to go home. It's sooo much easier to get those things done alone. Take a nap - a happy mommy = a happy baby.

    Not at all!  I did it yesterday Big Smile

    If you work FT it is hard to EVER feel like you have enough time; take advantage and don't spend all day cleaning and doing errands.  Read a magazine or book or enjoy a cup of coffee.

    Don't feel guity.  DH and I also send DS to daycare if we have a day off from time to time.  We get so much done in that day and DS loves it at daycare.

    nope!  i work from home once a week and ds goes to daycare, which is almost like a day off, but i'll have MLK Day off, ds will go to daycare and dh will out of town for work.  this will be my first day (since before ds was born!) totally all to myself and i have been looking forward to it for months!
