I have a six-month old, and he is the most adorable child on the planet (but of course:). Yet after three months of maternity leave, I was dying to hand him off to my trusty daycare provider and go back to work!
But admitting you look forward to time away from your child is sacrilegious, judging from the reaction I get from people. So I've stopped telling the truth. When people say, "Oh, you must hate going to work," I just say what they want to hear: "I miss him terribly, stare at his photos all day, and look forward to picking him up every day." Which is 100% true. But I always knew that staying at home wouldn't be good for me. I think some moms enjoy it more than others. I love to have him all to ourselves on the weekends, but by Monday morning I'm ready for a break.

I will be joining you in the world of 2 offspring this July. While we haven't been snowed in, my 17-month old daughter and I have been (mostly) stuck at home sick for the past....oh, forever, I think? Or week. She's just entering that phase in which the laws of physics piss. her. off.

Anyway, ramble, ramble, I hear you.
