When we are at home and Zoe takes a nap like today, I thank my lucky stars. I am getting so much done. After working three days straight, I have several housekeeping things to which I must tend, and having time when I don’t feel guilty about not spending it with Zoe is gold. Time with her is platinum then, or diamonds, but without the suffering quotient.

Also, tonight we will finally celebrate Joel’s birthday – there is a restaurant that Zoe and I picked out for him (we called ahead to make sure they serve Coca-Cola products).
