I Miss Work??

So I was laying in bed reading the other afternoon, after a pretty normal day for me. Which consists of pretty much the same thing most days, now that school is out and I don't have tutoring or Junior Achievement. Sleeping, eating, shopping, running errands, reading, internet surfing, prenatal pilates/yoga, taking care of the dog . . .

Some days I have doctor's appointments, some nights I have prenatal or birth classes, but really that's about it. It's been really nice to have few commitments and to just be able to take care of myself and this baby for now. I haven't been bored. I've had plenty of time to get things done (sometimes it doesn't feel like it though if I'm not feeling well), but I rarely feel bored.

So it kind of came out of nowhere yesterday that I started feeling like I missed working! Like a real full-time job, not just a few hours here and there like I've been doing. I miss getting up every day and getting ready and getting to work starting new each day at my own desk. Having projects that are my own to work on and be accountable for. Socializing with co-workers that always understand because they work with you every day with the same people. It's not any particular job I miss, it's just the office atmosphere in general. And the structure perhaps.

It took me a year to have these feelings! I can't believe I'm even typing this!

Ok, time for a nap. Or maybe I'll go shopping for accessories for the baby's room. Despite missing work sometimes, it really is wonderful having this time to prepare. Just a couple more months until she's here!
