Fact #1: My maternity leave starts this Friday.
Fact #2: Nonetheless, I will be at work Saturday, since I have to take a day off tomorrow due to J's illness (my first ever for that reason, BTW, so that makes it easier to swallow).
Fact #3: We are having carpet installed Mon and Tues.
Fact #4: Alan asked the karmic gods to keep J healthy for only two key dates...when I went on a two-day getaway with a friend, and during the carpet installation. She has thus far managed to barf and fever her way through both. Thanks, karmic gods!
Fact #5: I could never. ever. ever. come up with the structure and stimulation for my kid(s) that most SAHMs do. By the time 4:00 rolls around, I'm out of ideas, folks. I like the challenge in the abstract, but it's a good thing I'm not a SAHM.
Fact #6: 15 days till Roo #2's arrival.

I sometimes look with envy at how my friends plan regular outings with their kids. But I also realize that if I was a full-time SAHM, I would probably also do the regularly structured stimulation in large part for my *own* stimulation and sanity. Consider it an act of self-preservation and not necessarily an act of selfless super-momness.
Hope you have a good couple weeks off of work before the madness begins at home. I will be very eager to hear how things are going (and what it's like if you ever try to take both outside of the house at once). I'm all ears!
