    I can't wait to go back to work

    I've had a month off work over the Christmas break. We were originally going to go to London but that didn't work out but we kept the long leave booked.

    After the 4 weeks, I'm thoroughly sick of my family. DH and I don't have a great deal to talk about as we are together every day. The boys are going a bit nutty too. Their behaviour is the same as always, some good, some horrid, but I'm just less tolerant because its day in and day out.

    Back to work this week for some adult time! Yay!

    Is it just me?

    I felt like that week. Still feel some of it, won't be back to normality till school is back, which is when I get back my "me" day a week.

    Not me going back to work, but DF. I hate he's gone back today after 3.5 weeks off. I feel so lost without him at home. He was going stir crazy and hates not having stuff to do. As much as he hates his job and work place, think he was glad when today rolled around

    I hear you. It's not just you! I went back last week and could not wait. after almost 3 weeks at home with the kids because the daycare centre was closed I was about to rip someone's head off. I had just one day where kindy was open so I had a few hours kid free time but I just too exhausted to enjoy it. I love my kids but geez sometimes i need a break. They are just so constantly needy, whingy, clingy and it has to be me that does everything, every. single. time. DH has given up. I was ready to rip his head off after just 3 days off yesterday. Thank god for wine I am very glad to be back at work today as much I don't really enjoy it at the moment.

    I can't wait to go back to work

    Not just you at all, I'm due back next week and it can't come soon enough. Yep I love my DD and we have had fun, but bring it on! The other day she even said she misses her teachers and friends so perhaps it's mutual lol

    I love my job and I love the stimulation it and the people I work with (and against) provides.

    I love my family and if I had to choose between them family comes first every time no contest.

    But you are not alone.

    Agree Peanutter! But I think it proves that I am not really cut out to be a full time SAHM

    I am not cut out for full-time SAHM either, love the idea, but me and the reality don't mix so well.

    Definitely had enough, I almost could not drive today due to all the questions and chatter from the girls in the back seat, my brain just broke.

    As much as I like going to work, I would have loved a few more weeks at home. We have been super busyv(in a good way) and having a blast. Not looking forward to early morning routines again. I am just not a morning person.
