Am I THAT kind of mom?

Today was bring-your-kid-to-work day. Well not really, it was just me. It was just for a little while and she's at home with her dad again. Now that she's not here, I miss her so much. Am I that kind of mom? Am I that kind of employee? Am I that kind of career person? Who would prefer staying at home raising kids rather than making a career? After having stayed at home with my child for over 2 years, I'd say no. I do miss her and want to spend precious moments with her, but I wouldn't want to become a stay-at-home mom because I have so many other things I want to accomplish. NOT saying I think those moms are underachievers in any way - it's just not for me. I look up to all you moms who manage to raise your kids full-time, I do. But I was bored (so bored I had to enroll at university full-time to be able to cope with the boredom of being at home with a child. OMG that sounds horrible.. Let's just say I'm kind of restless. In all aspects of my life. More about that later.

However, I do put my family first in the way that I always think about my child's needs first-hand, and let my husband (or rather, his career) make the path for our lives. Not saying I put my own dreams and plans in the corner, it's just that in order for us to have the life we want for our family, we have to prioritize his career because that's what's taking us to our goal.

Right now, I'm not on my terrace, I'm in my office (yes, I have my own office, with a window, trees outside, the works) and I'm dreaming away to my dream destination.....
