Daydreaming
I catch myself daydreaming throughout the day about things I would love to be doing. I love being home with my kids, but I admit taking care of three young children isn't always the most relaxing or fun thing. Sometimes my mind wanders, and I picture myself on a beach reading a really good book while sipping a fruity alcoholic beverage of some kind. I see myself eating dinner at a fancy restaurant, savoring each bite instead of wolfing down a few taquitos while Lucas is crying in the swing. Sometimes I'm at a play or concert, or Mavericks game. Occasionally I daydream about being able to run errands and shop at stores all day long without any obligations on my mind. I would browse at a bookstore for a couple of hours and meet a friend for lunch. Just because I daydream doesn't mean I would trade what I have for any of these things. I'm happy being a mom that is stuck at home most of the time. One day I will be free to go and do what I want, and I'll probably be daydreaming about rocking an infant and seeing his first smiles, or listening to knock knock jokes from a cute little 4 year old.

It's great to daydream. I think it helps us get away without getting away. I do it at work all the time because even though I really love my job, sometimes I just would rather not be there, so I totally understand what you're saying. No matter where you are, there's always pleasant and less pleasant things about being there!
I was catching up on another blog that I read sometimes and she posted something close to what you were writing about...I definitely agree with you!! The other post is at http://embracingmycup.blogspot.com/2007/03/i-wouldnt-have-it-any-other-way.html
