a complete 24 hours, like 5pm to 5pm? OMG.
First, I would call all my girlfriends and gloat. That would take about an hour. Then I would realize that I was hungry and that I could go out to eat at a restaurant with cloth napkins. I would call all my girlfriends to see who would like to join me – but none of them would pick up because of my gloating. Good thing I have one married without children GF.
We’d head to drinks and dinner. After a completely uneventful, unhurried dinner I’d come home, shower uninterrupted until the hot water ran out. I’d climb into bed, arrange the pillows how *I* like them, turn on the TV to SoapNet, catch up on a week’s worth of DoOL.
The next morning I would shower again, uninterrupted until the hot water ran out. Coif. Grab my book and head to a coffee shop. After some light breakfast and reading (I could suck up here and say it’d be Heaping Spoonful – but I ALREADY READ IT) I’d go to my massage and pedicure appointments.
And because I wouldn’t want my family to think I didn’t miss them, I would pick up something for dinner on my way home from the spa.
Mine would DEFINITELY involve a shower that does not include (a) jumping out and sliding across the wet floor to break up a fight or wipe a butt, or (b) having one or two little faces pressed up against the shower door making blowfish faces. In fact, if I could just have a butt-wiping free day, I’d call it heaven. Seriously, at what point should they be able to PROPERLY (a/k/a skid-mark-free) do that for themselves?!
