I am so late to the BW day off discussion - definitely a pro con list type decision... I'd lean to half a day like you BW, guilt over not working would get me and I'd be better with the distraction, but only good if the call is guaranteed to happen after you get home.

Mel - Good luck to you and DH today, hope everything goes very smoothly for you both.

BG - Woo hoo, drug free stress free time, a small bonus in the world. 2 whole weeks of play time...
