One thing I despise

pincushions

about being a SAHM or maybe just a mom in general:

Trying to get a sick day.

I just need one day where I can sleep in. Not hear screaming in the next room.

DH would have stayed home if I asked him but honestly it would be easier if he didn't. He would be bothering me all day about "where is this or that".

One day. All day 9 hours of time that I can just drink my orange juice, huddle up in the corner of my bed with my chills and pass in and out of consciousness.

MDO start up again on Tue and you just may see pin throw her kids and run.

Completely agree.  This morning I was dying of exhaustion, it was snowing, and all I wanted to do was just pull the covers over my head and lay in bed all day........ serious bliss.  But then I came back to reality and ran around the house like a lunatic trying to get Ava to nursery school on time.

I have been known to say this from time to time.  There is no "calling in" as a SAHM.  We were all (the kids and me) sick for three weeks in December.  It was awful.  No curling up on the couch, sleeping it off, etc.  Just miserable.  I would have given anything for a sick day for me!

I had a minor operation, so I hired a sitter and sent DH back to work after I got home.  It worked much better, since the sitter only brought me the baby when he needed to feed and left me alone outside of that.

I agree.  I have a stomach bug today and just want to nap.  I still sent DH to work because the kids just want me anyway - I get more peace with him gone.
