Guilty Pleasures

Only for you, my blogging audience, would I admit to actually liking the following things:

--The Delilah radio show (yep, very sappy, indeed)
--Adult Contemporary Christmas Music (none of those traditional carols for me, thank you)
--QVC (I'm REALLY trying to quit, but it just keeps sucking me in)
--Ketchup on steak (and it doesn't matter the quality of steak--I must have ketchup)
--Lifetime movies (the ultimate of sappiness, but who doesn't appreciate mindless entertainment from time to time?)
--Anthony Bourdain (Why am I obsessed with this man? He is absolutely fascinating, I cannot tell a lie)
--Russian Rock (I had to throw this one in. Ever since Joe came back from Russia, I've been hooked on music that I haven't the slightest clue as to what they are singing. But, nevertheless, it rocks.)

If You're Happy and You Know it...

Missing my time as a SAHM

Daniel was absolutely wild today. He is usually pretty wide open, but tonight, Daniel was wide open times 10. I suppose that even though we tried to keep him on the move, we just cannot replace the companionship that his daycare friends provide him. We all have had a lovely day off, but I truly think that Daniel is ready to get back to his routine and his friends.

I cannot say I'm ready to get back to work just yet. After having extended breaks with Daniel, I always start getting nostalgic for my maternity leave and wishing that I could be a stay-at-home mom once again. I know that if I was able to stay-at-home, I would miss my students and probably my independence, but I cannot help but wonder what life would be like if I didn't have to work. I know that tomorrow will be tough when I have to leave Daniel, and I know that there will be times during the day when I will be watching the clock not knowing how I am going to make it through the day without Daniel...such is the life of a WOHM. I know that I should be thankful to have a job so that I can support my son without outside assistance.

Why can't I just be happy with things as they are? Why can't I ever be satisfied living my current reality? Why is the grass always greener on the other side?
