Last week I had the pleasure of returning to the stay at home mommy status for a limited 2 day stint.   It was absolutely WONDERFUL.  I miss being home with my kids so much, so those two days I really overdid the mommy and son time.  My five year old was in school and I really just wanted some alone time with the 3 year old (yes, a little selfish).  The problem is, we had so much fun that I realized how much I miss it and dreaded going back to work when the two days were up.  We went shopping, we went for a walk in the park, we fed the ducks and took pictures on the shore.  We swang on the swings and played tag in the playground.  It is so frustrating for me to not be able to be with him all day, when all I can do is think about his cute face and little boy voice.  If he were in school it would be different, then I wouldn’t have the option of seeing him, but knowing that he is home just makes me want to stay home and cuddle with him all day.  Both boys have adjusted nicely to my going to work and they are with their dad and my mom so I know that they are safe, but apparently I have not adjusted, because every once in a while I get a pang of sadness when I talk to them on the phone and hear their little voices saying I miss you mom.  I guess I will just have to live for holidays and weekends so I can curl up on the couch and hug them both until the protest.
