Mom's Day Off

Today was supposed to be my day off, but somehow I ended up doing everything from fixing a leaky faucet to helping the kids with their homework and teaching them how to make pancakes. By the time evening rolled around, all I wanted was just an hour of peace to read a book or take a bath. But when I mentioned it, my husband looked at me like I'd asked for a vacation in Paris. It's not that I don't love being home with the kids, but sometimes even I need a break.
