Okay, I have decided on what I want from Paul for Valentines Day this year. Usually I am just happy if he remembers to get me a card or some candy. This year, however, I know exactly what I want ahead of time.
My official request is for 1 day off. I want one day where I don't have to go to my job, take care of the baby, run any errands, do any grocery shopping, or do anything else that even remotely seems like work.
I haven't had a day off like that since we had our anniversary last summer, and even then I was too worried about leaving Will behind to relax. We got to spend a night in Layton at the Anniversary Inn, but Will was only 3 months old and Nina was watching him. No matter how much I assured myself that everything would be fine for one night I was still anxious to be away from him.
The only real problem that I have with asking for a day off is that it makes me feel really guilty. Somewhere in the back of my head a little voice keeps telling me that I am being selfish to want to have everyone else do the work for one day. I keep feeling that if I take a day off everything falls on Paul's shoulders and that's not very fair.
Is it wrong of me to be selfish, or wrong of me to feel guilty? I get dizzy just thinking about it...

Ash-
I think you are very entitled to a day off for Valentines Day!!
It doesn't cost any money, it doesn't require Paul to get you anything, and it will make Paul and Will appreciate you more once they realize how much you do for them!
I think I want the same thing for Valentines Day. Except I'm going to request a week off. Or a month. Heck I'm gonna shoot for all of 09.
