[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congratulations!  I think it bodes well for your family since you are already thinking about it.

I have never been in your shoes but I would encourage you to put aside time for three things:  you (private/quiet time), you and your husband (date night or even date hour), [b]you and your daughter (bake cupcakes, go to get a bagel and coffee, etc)[/b].  The times don't have to be a lot so think quality not quantity.  You will have a lot of demands on your time but make sure you eeck out a little time for the people you love!

Also, get a house cleaning service because you will not want to waste your time cleaning when you could be relaxing.

Good luck in your new job![/quote]

My dad had a demanding job when I was that age. He picked me up from gymnastics on Saturdays at noon, took me to lunch, and then we ran errands together. He never brought along one of my brothers and I knew that was *my* time. He also took me on a trip to New Orleans and Chicago, just the two of us. He passed when I was 24 and I'm so glad we got to do those things.[/quote]
