"Sometimes it pays to stay in bed in Monday, rather than spending the rest of the week debuging Monday's code." -Dan Solomon, Formerly an NPC bodybuilder and a graduate of the University of Hartford School of Journalism, Dan founded the Physique Management Group, which provides promotional and management support for many of the industry's top athletes, models and promoters.

Okay, yesterday wasn't Monday, but it did pay for me to stay in bed. I begged out of work, Mike took the kids to daycare and I took myself a mental health day. After getting out of bed at 9:00, I made a trip to the grocery store and spent the day putzing around the house, hanging pictures, doing laundry. It may not sound like fun to you, but it was heaven for me. Today, I feel recharged and refreshed.

I don't know about you, but I need a day to myself every now and then. Since Nicky was born, I've felt overwhelmed and exhausted most days and I desperately needed a day, just one day, without anyone needing me for anything. I used to feel selfish about feeling this way, but I've come to the conclusion that it's just my personality. All people need different things, after all.
