You know...I always say I could never be a stay at home mom...it just isn't in me...I tried when the boy was a baby to stay off the entire year we get here in Canada for Maternity Leave...but alas was back in the office by the time he was 8 months old because staying home was driving me crazy...not to mention I *need* the adult interaction on a daily basis.
All that to say...I could stay home all of the time now and just veg. I don't know that I could entertain a child...but I do know that I would enjoy being home doing whatever my little heart desires. Do you think I can find someone to pay me for watching talk shows all day long??? HA!
I like my job...but I hate that it gets in the way of my "me" time. Perhaps I'm just bitter today because my replacement was less than competent...and now she is on vacation so I can't even ask her any questions about the work she did while I was away. Urgh!
In other news...today marks the official countdown (4 days) to my 29th birthday...when did I get so damn old??? If 29 is this hard, next year 30 is really going to kill me. So it's this Friday...as the day draws closer I freak out a little bit more lol. My mom will be visiting and requested I take the day off to enjoy it at the beach with her...it's supposed to be cold and rainy all this week so I don't know that the beach will be the place for us...but maybe the weatherman is wrong...it's not like he isn't wrong almost every single day, right???

Happy Birthday!!! I just celebrated my 29th a few weeks ago. I was wondering how I got so old too!!! :)
I love talk shows so if you find any money in watching them, be sure to share your source. I would be a happy part time worker.
Happy almost birthday!! I hate incompetence too. I have one of those at the office, and she drives me INSANE.
I so hear you on the "me time" thing. I never intended to be a stay-at-home mom, but when it came right down to it, I did not want to send any of my babies to daycare. And now, I'm too used to staying home and doing my own thing, I would really miss the little "me" time I get!
Happy early birthday!!
I kinda remember turning 29, it was soooo long ago. :)
I'm not cut out to be a stay at home mom either.. our family vacation is about all I can handle of my kid in one dose. ;)
My mom is now 60 and says her hardest birthday ever was 30, it was like she 'lost her youth'. Haha!
Happy almost Birthday!
Yeah, i hate working too. I wish I could just be home.
I am a stay at home mom and I can't wait to get back out working.Find me again. Oh by the by 29 is so not old.I am going to be 39 this Dec and if your old that means I'm way old..
The 30's are better that the 20's because you are not stupid enough to stay out all night thinking you can just go to work the next day in the same clothes. However, you must remain vigilant against high cholesterol. Vigilant I say!
Happy Birthday Mel! I celebrated 29 a 'few' years ago :) - enjoy it - I hope the weather cooperates for a beach trip with Mom!
Hope you had a good birthday!
I thought 29 and 30 were big deals... but then I turned 35. That one really hurt. HA!
