I am noticing that whenever I go to work on the weekends, quality of life here at the house goes down, down, down! My husband is a good husband and father, and he will help me out a lot with the cleaning and such when I am around directing it, but otherwise, things are a mess! I mean, dishes are everywhere, laundry piles up (there wasn't that much on Friday?!), my daughter is dressed like a character from Lord of the Flies, and whenever I call my husband on breaks while at work, he sounds stressed and distressed!

Again, great husband, but bad weekends!

So here I am, going back to work this morning. It's a pain, but not because I don't like my job or am thankful for it. It's just that I miss doing "mom" things. I really am a good mommy. I tame the peanut (my daughter), things get done around here, and my husband's stress level goes WAY down...I definitely think that if I can't be a stay at home mommy, I need to find a Per Diem position allowing me time during the week and not just the weekend. I NEED to go to church and that;s been missing practically for 6 months now. That alone is not worth it to me...

I also noticed that the past few weeks we've been hiring agency nurses on my unit, but those nurses haven't shown up?
