I figured I would miss going to work. I thought I would have this over-whelming urge that I was in the wrong place--that I was supposed to BE somewhere else. Like this was just a vacation and I was due back to work any day.
I didn't.
I felt I was exactly where I should be--temper tantrums and all.
It was nice.

Being a product of one, I'm a big advocate of the SAH Mom [this is where, as a male I have to put in this disclaimer provided me by the State Department that disclaims any chauvinism or bigotry on my part and clearly states that I'm not trying to keep the "girl down."] It would be hard to tell all the affect it had on me, but I know there was a tremendous feeling of security to know my Mom was there when I got home. I'd walk home for lunch, get a home cooked meal and then go back. Tremendous confidence builder I think. It's no wonder Keith is getting up and dressing himself. I'll bet, with Mom's attention more available these days, that their true capabilities will come through and they won't have to compete for it. I'm sure some of those "I can'ts" were really "need some more attention over here." With you at home, they could probably run all day on one hair tousle.
Isn't it nice!! So far, I haven't worked since I left Indiana...it has been a year and 6 months. I will probably have to get a job again someday but for now I am enjoying it!!!
Miss you!
