Many mothers face this dilemma, do I go back to work or do I become a stay at home mom (SAHM). I've never had to wrestle with that decision. For one, I love my job too much. Secondly, I miss having adult conversations. Or rather, adult conversations about something else besides babies. And three, I appreciate the dude so much more when I am with him. The first day certainly was hard. I had to put a picture of him as my background image. I even had to drive home for lunch so I could give him a hug and kiss.
I found that 8 hours being with him, talking to him, playing with him, I began to view him as this parasite almost. Someone who was sucking my time, energy, and the me that made me, me. I never resented having him, but I just couldn't be with him 24 hours a day. Luckily my awesome hubby would take the dude and I was able to go shopping (well window shopping), pick up take out, and talk to my girlfriends on the phone.
Now, I get to work on time because I want to get off work on time. I spend all night with him and when I put him down for bedtime, I don't think "the day has finally ended". I, instead, think, "I can't wait to see him again tomorrow".
