Totally understand. I remember last time I was sick I was like "Sure, watch Playhouse Disney all morning, just let me lay on the couch"! Oh, and those put-together SAHM's - you know they've got nannies. There's a neighbor of my parents that has a nanny come 3-5 days during the week so she can have her "me-time" and go shopping, do lunch... I remember Jack played with her daughter once, and there were others there, and one said to me "I don't know how you stay home with your child by yourself". It's just that south-of-town philosophy, I guess. Sure, it's hard being a SAHM, and I have my days, but I stayed at home so no one else would have to raise our child...

Life "on the outside" looks heavenly when you're in the middle of it. But when you start getting out, you miss everything about them. Enjoy all of it!
