Thursday Thirteen #25 - Reasons why I'm actually glad to go back to work tomorrow

After almost a week of hardly leaving the house, I think I'm actually going to be ready to head back to work tomorrow.

Here are a few (well, 13) of the reasons why...

1. My house won't clean itself while I'm gone, but at least I won't have to sit here and stare at the mess.
   
   
2. I'm looking forward to not being asked to play Dora or the Backyardigans every 22 minutes.
   
   
3. I hate wasting sick days for silly things - like actually being sick...
   
   
4. I feel much better about paying for daycare when the kids are actually there, being cared for.
   
   
5. There was a time when spending a day lying on the couch sounded like a dream come true. However, the dream did not include 3 kids running, jumping, climbing and sitting all over me.
   
   
6. Nor did it include not physically being able to actually get up off of the couch all day on Tuesday. Nope, I definitely could've done without that part too.
   
   
7. I (ahem) can probably catch up on my blog reading here and there throughout the day at work - I mean, I'm sitting in front of the computer all day anyway... Shhh - don't tell my boss! LOL
   
   
8. Ok, so I'm just kidding on #7 - well sort of... I do like having a solid hour at lunchtime where I can blog read to my heart's content with no interruptions (or guilt!) though.
   
   
9. I've started talking back to the television. When I hear 'No, Dora - don't take the red path!', come out of my mouth, then I know it's time to get the heck out of here for a while.
   
   
10. I sat down in the recliner this morning to rest - and woke up 4 hours later. Yes, I needed the sleep, but still...
    
    
11. It's very sad when you know your neighbors' schedules as well as your own. Did I mention that our couch faces the front window in our living room?
    
    
12. As much as I love my kids, and wish I could stay home with them - there are times when they drive me absolutely bonkers. Especially after they've been cooped up in the house for several days.
    
    
13. The biggest reason that I'm actually going to be glad to go back to work tomorrow? Because I'm finally feeling human again!! I don't wish this stomach flu bug on anyone - it's a nasty one.

Have a good Thursday, everyone! :)
