I'm the same way....I started a new job last year that made me leave at 7 and not get home until 5 and it drove me nuts to leave the girls home...even though they have the run of the house...this last december I quit that job...i told everyone it was because my contract changed and at the time I believed that too but now I really think I quit my job because I hated leaving the girls...now I am home all day with them and I am very Happy with that.. not to sure the hubby is though
