I'm heading back to work today after being home for SIX DAYS straight!
And you know what???
I'm kinda, sorta, maybe a little bit....looking forward to it.
*GASP*
I know, I KNOW! I feel so guilty. I love my little guys dearly, but I tell ya, after spending the past six days being cooped up with two sick little boys (who are much better now, thank goodness), I need some sanity.
I am actually looking forward to my desk, my pile of cases I'm sure are waiting for me, but most of all, I'm looking forward to a moderately quiet (as quiet as Police Headquarters can be) office with working adults. Is that bad? Does that make me a bad mommy? Oh please don't hate me, I'm just being honest.
So, do YOU have anything you feel guilty about come Monday mornings? Are you a SAHM who has to focus on the tasks at hand? A WAHM who has to make time to get some work done? A work outside the home mama? Please do share/vent/get it off your chest in the comments section.

I don't think you should feel guilty at all!
I know the kids go back to school today after our Thanksgiving break, and I am SO glad. I could NEVER be a homeschooling mom. I am a good Mom because my kids GO to school, and we have that seperation in the day, and when they come home I am ready to be a better refreshed mom again:)
At times I wish I could work. I miss that social independance. Everyone has to find what works for their family:)
Hey, just followed you here from MckMama..anyway, I sometimes have the same feelings of guilt.
When I came back from 12 weeks of maternity leave I was so excited to see adults again and do something productive and have a schedule and have QUIET. I felt really guilty. Like I was the worst mom on Earth.
Now, however, I know that I need to get breaks where I can, even if it is at work. Those breaks make me a better, more involved mama.
I can understand what you are saying and you should not feel bad. I am a SAHM but I am at my internship all weekend and I love it. I look forward to the adult interaction, time away to do something for me, and the quiet drives. I am looking forward to graduating so I can start working. I LOVE being a SAHM mom but I also love the adult interaction.
BTW: I can here from Mckmama's forum.
I have on occasion asked hubby to stay home with the kiddos while I went to work for him...ok, I begged! Kim
No, don't feel guilty. I feel the same guilt every first day of school, when I'm jumping up and down because the boys are back at school. So I understand how you feel! It's just nice to get back in the routine of things.
I am a WAHM who would rather have a house full of daycare children than to be back at her In-Laws. But don't mention that on my blog because I am sure they are eavesdropping on it!
Happy MOnday!
Hmmm. What don't I feel guilty about. I am constantly feeling guilty about working on the blog instead of doing something around the house. I feel guilty about not doing as much I see other moms doing with their kids. There is a ton more, but I can just wait until next week. lol.
I often feel guilty when I see other kids that eat vegetables...mine won't eat them. And I think that somehow it's my fault.
