Missed: my sweet girls overwhelming me with hugs and kisses.
Missed: giggles.
Didn't miss: whines.
Missed: my bed.
Didn't miss: laundry.
Missed: hearing my name "mommy".
Didn't miss: hearing my name "mommy" repeated 1,437 times.
Missed: readings books to my girls.
Didn't miss: fighting.
Didn't miss: hitting.
Didn't miss: them taking toys away from each other.
Missed: the internet!
Didn't miss: convincing the kids they DO need to take a nap.
Didn't miss: being a "mean" mom
Missed: our routine!
Missed: my husband
I am really glad to be home with them, but i'll be even more happy when I get get our routine back and get them used to me again. I don't mind that granny spoils them while they are there, I just hate having to bring them back down to reality again and being "mean" to them (not letting them stay up late, making them nap, telling them no, ect - all of which granny does the opposite! lol). Anyways, back to life as I know it!

That so describes the ups and downs of mommyhood. they joy of hearing "Mommy!" when you come home and the weariness of hearing "moooommmmmy . . . " fifteen times in a row. Welcome home.
