seriously. getting away for the night/weekend sometimes makes me grumpy and impatient, too. right before i walk in the door, i'm all excited to see the kids and be home, and then i'm home. at it's a mess. and the kids are annoying.... you get the idea. welcome back. :)
I always think I'll be more patient when I get away from the kids for a bit, but it's true like Amy said, it's almost worse to come back than it was before you left!
It seems easier to deal with everything, when you're innundated with the stress of being a mom. As opposed to getting a nice relaxing break, only to be thrown back into the middle of it all again.
I wish I could send Ying your way! You'd love her!!! She would make you your favorite food, take the kids out to the park while all the while encouraging you to go take a rest... somehow doing all the work while miraculously making you feel like you were the one who needed the rest. (Of course right now you do, but if you had Ying you wouldn't). I seriously wish I could just lend you our darling housekeeper for a week!

welcome back. :)
Times of transition can be stressful...you'll be fine in a day or two. If not, send your kids to boarding school! :-)
