If you build it…
MOMS WILL COME! Okay, so here’s the plan: a hotel/daycare center! Small building, maybe three floors, outdoor playground would be nice.
Bottom floor: Daycare center with well qualified workers.
Top two floors: Hotel rooms. Smaller rooms without all of the frills, no TV, no work desk, no mini-bar. Wait…yes, a mini bar. A super cozy large bed, blackout curtains, and nice bathroom with fancy toiletries. Perhaps a complimentary cute-patterned sleeping mask on your first visit too.
The idea is that Mom’s come in, drop off their kid(s), and, knowing the tots will be well cared for, Momma heads upstairs to catch up on sleep. Maybe upon waking, she’ll take a shower and blow dry her hair uninterrupted. I would easily pay like $50 for a two hour nap and quiet shower.
Some of my best ideas come at night.
When my kid is up screaming for hours on end due to teething and a cold.
And the hubs is out of town.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the cuddle time with Lillian, but I’m always worried that I’m going to nod off while rocking her and she will tumble to the floor breaking the ‘we haven’t dropped her yet’ success. Yes, Brian and I took great pride recently after having a discussion on how she has never been dropped. *hehe, side note: the iPhone spell correcter filled in the word ’stolen’ for ‘dropped’. Wow, can you imagine if we had gotten by this long without her being stolen? Geesh, we’re good parents but not superheros!

Love it. Doesn’t stuff always seem to happen when daddy is gone?
