A Taste of SAHMing

Spring Break! WOOT WOOT!! It's here. Forget the fact that we only get Wed.-Sun. this year because we had to make up 2 snow days so instead of 10 days we only get 5. Whatev. I'm enjoying being off with the monkey today. Getting laundry done (sort of) and scrubbing my bathroom till it's sparkly (well, it will be later) and throwing out a bunch of old leftovers from the fridge (I really did do that!). Mr. Sarah is coming home for a lunch of meatloaf sandwiches and mashed potatoes and monkey is down for his daily nap. All is well with the world right now. I'd go take a nap if Mr. Sarah wasn't coming home for lunch. Oh well.
When I was on maternity leave I wanted nothing more than to be a stay at home mom. Visions of cleaning, cooking, and watching TV danced in my head, plus I'd get to be home with my kiddo and not take him to yucky daycare. The longer I was home with him the more I wanted to go back to work! Don't get me wrong, I looooooove spending time with him and chasing after him constantly, but the "me" times are few and far between. At work I an go to the bathroom when I want and watch the Today Show from start to finish. At home I have to wait until monkey's content playing with something in the floor to go pee pee. If I just leave, he'll pull the TV on his head or something. At home, I am serenaded 15 times a day by Moose from Noggin'.
This summer, I'll be able to take monkey swimming and the park and stuff, but it is currently 56 and windy so there will be no outside activities today! Maybe later we'll go to the mall and walk.
But I digress. I like to work. It stimulates me intellectually. I also like to be at home, but I don't think I could do it full time. Too much guilt from NOT doing the laundry, NOT mopping the kitchen floor, NOT changing the litter box. Since I work, I can always blame my lack of motivation on days off on how "needy" monkey was that day when Mr. Sarah gets home from work and wants to know what the heck I've been doing all day! Hmmm... does that make me a bad mom?
