I always call someone and talk on the phone. I know it's silly, but then I feel like I'm not alone.
Funny story: When my sons were really little we bought a new bedroom suite. They sent one guy out to deliver and set up a queen bed, dresser, mirror, chest. So I was helping the guy and had to crawl around the room a little to fit everything in. Evidently, all my ds3 saw was mommy "helping" a man in a uniform setting up the bed. He told my dh as soon as he got home "mommy was in bed with the mailman today"! (I guess all uniformed people looked like mailmen to him!)
