Maternity Leave: Top Ten

I so enjoyed my maternity leave and today I went back to work. So hear is a tribute to my super special time at home with my kiddos.

Here are the top ten things I am going to miss nowthat I am back to work:

#10: Not setting an alarm at night.  (5:45 what??!!)
#9: My cup of coffee at home in the morning (it looks like back to Caribou I go....Lent is over right??)
#8:  Toddler Thursdays at Goodwill (I love me a good deal)
#7: Grocery Shopping during the day (After work the last thing a person wants to do is grocery shop)
#6: Meal Prep (I hate the 6pm rush to get something on the table..during leave I could start dinner whenever I want...I like that)
#5: Playdates with Friends (What this really translates to socializing with my friends)
#4: Trips to Chip during the week and not just on weekends
#3: Staying up late....this takes me right back to #10
#2: Catching Thursday garage sales before they are picked over...which takes me right back to #8

And the #1 reason I cried on the way to work this morning was:


#1: Quality time with the two cutest kids in the World

  2. Great list! I'm glad you got that time home with your kiddos. Reminds me to be thankful for my days at home with the kids, even if a certain someone gets me up at 5am...

  4. Hey Lins. . . it will be O.K. I cry everyday when I have to go to work too! But thing will look up when Scott Walker is removed from office!! The sun will shine again on Wisconsin! Please share this thought with your dad! It really gets him going.
    The kids look great can't wait to see them in person soon.
    Love ya,
    Aunt Cathy
