The guilt-free time off is pretty much impossible without the accessible childcare....

I like that Holland essay. I guess in my case, we planned for Italy, but landed at one of its islands. I think the kiddo is more resilient for it. And if resilience isn't on the list of traits one wishes for their child, well... I probably don't have much in common with them! So I'm happy to be on the island.

Glad you had a nice mother's day -- even if it's a made-up holiday, the sentiment (and scheduled time to celebrate said sentiment) are what counts! I doubt I'd make the time for myself, otherwise. I used it as an excuse to watch Cary Grant movies all day.
