And I still find myself trying to keep busy during the day and it seems like I can until 2:00. Then I stare at the clock and think aaaaahhhh I still have an hour and 40 minutes till they get home. The truth is yes, husband and I have been having fun going to lunch and shopping together and doing stuff around the house.
Us at Carrabba's for my birthday lunch
But we miss them!
I have had children at home for 10 years! None of my kids have every went to Daycare. I enjoyed the heck out of life with my first child and then when he went to preschool, I had a 4 month old. And then when that child started kindergarten, I had a 1 year old and a newborn. I loved spending the days with my children - is there anything better then napping with your children and snuggling all afternoon together? And I loved always having a lunch date and someone to go to the store with. So there is a definite hole in my heart!
And when someone suggests "work more" to me it just sounds stupid. Work is not a substitute for spending time with your kids so CAN IT! I don't have one of those jobs where you can just agree to take on 1 more day. I work in an area of the hospital that most consider a great job so it is very hard to get into this unit. (I only did bc I am very part-time) I have been signing up for extra shifts to fill the days. And you bet I volunteered for everything I could at their school! And I am also going to start scheduling those doctor appointments that I missed taking care of everyone else.
Anyway, enjoy your kiddos while they are home because it hurts when they leave :( 3:35 is my favorite time of the day!!! Come home babies
