I know I am Crazy

With the girls gone last night, Brian and I decided to go out to dinner. On the way, he had to stop and check on a baby in the NICU where I used to work. I went with him to say hello to everyone and see how they were doing. I know that I am lucky to stay at home with my girls, but oh my goodness, I miss working at the hospital. I do the phone triage for hubby's office from home right now, which is easy and the schedule is great, but that is definately not what I went into nursing to do. I miss taking care of the rugrats and being around other adults for conversation. I miss the hospital atmosphere and the alarms and the charts! At the hospital we went to last night, I really miss my co-workers. Particularly a respiratory therapist named Bonnie and a nurse named Claudette. On such a small unit you get to know everyone really well and they become like family. I even miss working nights. But- I can't go back until my girls are both in all-day school. They will still be going half days this year. So- next year I will be back and working at the place I love, I hope. The worst part is when it is your turn to work Christmas, but that is only every few years. I know I am crazy- but I was not really cut out to be a stay at home mom. Sometimes I wonder if my girls would be better off if I worked! I am so glad they are coming home today. I have missed them while they were with Aunt Libby. Oh, well- off to the grocery store so that can be done before they get here!
