I love my job. The occasional late nights and consistent early mornings are a little wearing, but well worth the benefits.
However, there is one benefit I do miss from my pre-child job; business lunches, holiday parties and happy hour. (OK, that is three benefits and not really official work benefits, but you get the idea.)
Today Hubby's department at work held their holiday party. Usually they head out to a local restaurant for an extended lunch. Due to budget restraints this year they held a pot luck at a co-worker's house. Either way it was a party and when he called me to say he should be leaving in 30 minutes I felt a little jealous. :::sigh:::
Yes, I don't think it had anything to do with the mayhem three little munchkins were making behind me, though it was a very different sound from that I heard across Hubby's phone.
No, no, I love my job and certainly would not trade it in for anything else, at this time. And truth be told there are other benefits I would loose at a regular job. Like going to the gym in the morning, running to the store whenever, watching TV at any time or taking a nap in the afternoon, not that I know anything about the last two.

Stay-At-Home?
I don't consider our family over scheduled. And until this afternoon I didn't consider our family mildly scheduled.
The kids participate in a local university's case study program, meaning a college student comes over once a week and plays with the children. The kids love this, an "older kid" comes and plays with them, giving them one-on-one attention.
Anyway, today a student called to schedule a time. Well let's see, depending on which child they may not be available during the day and at some point in time our evenings became packed with activities. These days afternoons are good since naps are becoming a pleasant memory, but not too late because it then runs into the evening's events.
Today another person, who had spent two days trying to get hold of me asked, "aren't you a stay-at-home mom?" Oh, staying home one day would be nice.
