#1: Raising my own children. Even though I do it for a living, I cannot imagine dropping my children off into someone else's care all day, every day.
#2: It's been said; BEING MY OWN BOSS. I dictate how my day goes (to as much degree as is possible, I suppose, lol), when I take my holidays, what I will wear to work, who I work with, my income..... the list goes on.
#3: Ties in with #2, but the good times. Some days are hard, no doubt about it. But when we are all sitting on a blanket in the sunshine of the front yard, munching on popsicles and giggling while purple juice drips down our chins...... aaaaaahhhhh. Wouldn't trade it for all the world.
#4: A good day of nap/ quiet time. 'Nuff said.
