<p>My day so far:</p>

<p>Weather today:  SUNSHINE!</p>

<p>9:00 am - The Baby wakes up.  Take Prada bag out of its storage case and insert all I will need for the day:  cell phone, keys, wallet.  No diapers.  No ziplock bags.</p>

<p>10:00 am - Babysitter arrives.  The Baby is an angel.  She reads books to him while I take a LONG shower.</p>

<p>11:00 am - Run out to do errands.  Chat with girlfriend on the cell phone.</p>

<p>11:15 am - Pick up envelopes for The Baby’s Christmas cards.  Cards look so cute!</p>

<p>11:20 am -  Stop at J. Crew and buy adorable winter hat, for MYSELF, for $19.99.  Buy assorted clothing that can be thrown in the washer when they get strained sweet potatoes dropped on them.  No more “dry clean only” clothes for me.  Sigh.</p>

<p>11:45 am - Go to Borders and buy <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&amp;tag=mothisblisort-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;path=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0971453209?v=glance%26n=283155%26n=507846%26s=books%26v=glance">BabyWise</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=mothisblisort-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" width="1" /> and BabyWise II based on girlfriend’s enthusiastic recommendation.  Am filled with hope that baby will now sleep. </p>

<p>12:10 pm - Hit Bloomingdales and pick up a bottle of Vera Wang perfume for men that hubby needs for manager of hotel we will be staying at for our upcoming vacation.</p>

<p>12:30 pm - Go to Sur La Table and buy a <a href="http://www.surlatable.com/common/products/product_details.cfm?dmode=browse&amp;StartRow=1&amp;CRPCGNBR=32&amp;CGRFNBR=142&amp;PRRFNBR=8289">cake carrier</a> for Sacher Torte I will make for another girlfriend’s dinner party this Saturday night.  I feel like such a gourmand.  I love that store.</p>

<p>1:00 pm - Get home.  The Baby is napping, the babysitter has taken notes of everything that happened.  The Baby is fed and dressed.  Babysitter agrees to babysit on the night of The Husband’s company party.</p>

<p>1:15 pm - Eat a nice, quiet lunch and relax until I see the girls at playgroup.</p>

<p>THIS is what I hoped being a Housewife would be like(I’m still allowed to dream).  Days like today keep you sane.  Now I will go and enjoy the rest of it (it’s sunny out!) for as long as I can.  You do the same as well!</p>
