Hospital Vacation??

Don't get me wrong, I'm not really looking forward to the whole labor and deliver thing, and the recover afterwards. Can I tell you what I am looking forward to... aside from the new little bundle?! Two days in a place where I can watch whatever I want, when I want. I can read all day if I feel like it. I can shower when I feel like it and not have to worry about anyone coloring on my walls or computer screen. Two days of no cleaning, cooking, or laundry. Nobody saying, "what's for dinner, I don't want that." Two days of being able to eat in quiet without having my 2 yr. old thowing something or spilling something. I'll actually get through a meal and it'll still be hot when I take the last bite. I can order anything I want and it's brought right to my room. I can eat in bed. I can nap without fear of small children escaping, or worse, destroying something. The only thing I have to worry about is feeding the new little baby and changing him every once in a while. Those first few days when they sleep 24 hrs. (even when they're eating) is wonderful. Two days of peace before I have to go home to the chaos. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids but... how does that saying go... distance makes the heart grow fonder?? Is it strange that I'm looking forward to staying in the hospital??
