Every Monday and Tuesday, I take off the yoga pants and hoodies and put on real work clothes. I miss Charlie. All day. I think about the soft skin on the back of his neck. And his gut giggles. And I look at his pictures. And I come home and I love him even more than I did when I left that morning.
The black heels might be bad for my feet, but I believe getting dressed up these two days and going to the office is good for me. Something I've learned since having Charlie is the importance of keeping my sense of self. It's healthy for me, it's healthy for Ken, and it's healthy for Charlie. He thinks so too:
This face seriously melts me...
I also think it is good, as long as Dad and I are taking care of Charlie! He thinks so, too.

I agree about getting dressed up and getting "me" time...it's good for everyone! That's why I like going to my masters class...I get a nice cup of coffee on the way and enjoy, but miss Evan the entire time! :) Would you believe that I have those heels too?! ha! Hope you are staying warm!

You are so right. Took me quite a while to learn this for myself.
By the way, Charlie, you sure are a handsome little dude.
(and I owe you an email, sorry)
