The working mom idea takes another hit

An hour and a half ago I was supposed to leave for the state library conference, but I decided not to go since baby and husband are both sick.  Eric is very offended that I didn't leave since he said he could manage on his own.  I don't doubt he can handle it in general but I know if I was sick and Lorelei was sick, I would hope he would cancel any trip he had to stay home and help out.  However, I'm feeling guilty because this is the second year I've had to cancel and I was also doing A LOT at this conference--presenting twice, running a meeting, facilitating three sessions, and attending my last association board meeting.  I don't want to say it but maybe it's a bad idea to be so involved in conferences and associations while Lorelei is so little.  I have been feeling stretched way too thin in general the past few months.  I always thought that I'd be able to have a great career and be a good mom but maybe you really can't do both unless you have some help.  A cook, housekeeper, nanny, nurse (especially a nurse as of late!), chauffeur, and masseuse would be a great start!  Anyone want to chip in?  Maybe we could work out some sort of time-share.
