What would I do if I had a day to myself?

Well, I'm about to have a whole week to "myself" when Mark goes to Japan on the 28th, but I will stress about that later...

If I truly had the day to myself (no henri/no mark) right now, I think I would probably not be happy.  Since Henri's only 4 months old AND I just returned to work (a new job at that...), I'm still in the honeymoon phase of mommyhood, and I really do look forward to spending the evenings and weekends with him.  Crying, laughing, sleeping, not-sleeping...whatever he wants to do, I'm there.

One day in the not-too-distant future, I would like to be able to take a weekend trip by myself again and pick the writing back up. Since this is the best way for me to work, it is mandatory that I do it!  However, there's a lot that needs to be settled (like where we're going to live...) before that day comes.

Glad you're enjoying being a mommy! That is really touching -- and I understand what you mean that a day to yourself is not really possible right now. I was rarely apart from my daughter for the first year, but it is nice to get a little "me time" back as they grow. :)
