Why Would I Want To Work?

This past Friday a couple of friends and I took our kids to Cox Farms. It's this great farm with HUGE slides made from all sort of different materials, animals to pet, castles, food, hay rides, and LOTS of fun. We went once last year when Micaiah was about 4 weeks old, but it was even more fun this year because Orin is older. It was a gorgeous day with perfect weather. The kids all played together while we girls just chatted and enjoyed some of the slides ourselves. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, but we'll be back soon and I'll post pictures then. Anyway, while we were there, I couldn't' help thinking (and even mentioning this to my friend) how could any mom rather work than doing what we were doing? I'm not trying to make a statement about whether mom's should work or daycare or anything like that. I'm just talking about how I feel and how much I enjoy what I do every day. I mean, out on a beautiful day, hanging out with friends and making memories with my kids, I couldn't think of anything more fun - OK, well maybe a romantic vacation to Italy with my husband - but seriously, sometimes I feel like I'm on a field trip or skipping out of a day of school or just taking a day off of work. It's not like taking care of two kids isn't difficult or tiring and I definitely can get frustrated sometimes. But for the most part, every day is so much fun. Most days aren't necessarily like Friday - but we could just be going to the library or meeting friends for lunch, or going to a play group, or to the park, or even to the grocery store and I get to hang out with two adorable, fun kids and I can't imagine that I'd rather be inside, in an office, sitting in front of a computer, going to meetings, etc... I know that for some people "enjoyment" of staying home isn't quite there so I do feel blessed that it's something I love to do. But I truly can't image wanting to do anything else.
