Sometimes I hate being a working mom

So I am sitting here at my desk at work just dreading my day. I have left my family at home to enjoy a nice day of watching football together. I know in this economy I should be happy to have a job. I really felt that the other day when the company that I work for laid off some of the staff. I was luckily spared and was grateful for that, but lately I have really wanted to be able to be a stay at home mom. I belong to a playgroup that predominantly has stay at home moms and I secretly am jealous that I can hardly ever attend things. I wish I was home to help my kids with their homework or to be able to tuck them in and give them a good night kiss. I feel like there are so many activities that they have missed out on because mommy had to work. I know in a couple of years when they are all in school full time I may be able to get on a better schedule that will afford me the opportunities to be there more. For now I work my job and savor the moments I have.
