Should the day ever occur when I find myself without husband or children (honey, are you listening?) Much thought has been put into the notion of what I would do with 24 hours of sacred free time.
Some ideas that I just might indulge in:
Sleep until at least 10 am
Long uninterrupted bath
Reunion with 2 months of Bravo programming on the DVR.
Catch up with 6 months of Vogue back issues
Starbucks and Godiva for every meal
Finally finally Jonathan Franzen's Freedom
Nap
Nap
Nap
Visit my old friends Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda, even if only on DVD
Shoe shop online.
The reality is, I'd probably be more likely to do:
8 loads of laundry
3 loads of dishes
Clean 3 bedrooms
Mop 2 levels of hardwood
Organize the playroom
Dust
Vacuum
Wash the windows
Purge for Goodwill
Tackle some random redecorating project
Grocery shop
Have dinner on the table by everyone's return
And somewhere my husband is laughing hysterically because he knows the nap is the only thing this mom of three would take given 24 hours to herself. Okay, maybe an online shoe boutique or two. Only because you can surf the web from bed.

Isn't it written somewhere that every Mother is entitled to bed rest on Sunday? I'm sure it is...it has to be.
