Official end of freedom scheduled

Got my official return to work date today: June 9th. I am a free woman until then. It sounds so far away - but when I look at my calendar, it looks like tomorrow.
I am hoping once the weather gets nicer, and I heal some more, I will take advantage of every opportunity I have during this maternity leave. I want Joshua to enjoy his time at home with Mommy (without always watching TV), and Joseph to get the swing of things in this crazy family.
I also want to enjoy the days myself .... get some shopping done, some pampering ... some ME time .... once work starts, those things will be few and far between!!!!
Now .... to just think about the first "me" thing to do.........

THINGS I HATE:
rudeness, being late, arrogance, abortion, frigid temperatures, Winter 2008, goat cheese, a dirty house, not fitting into my clothes, friends who are self-centered, a slow metabolism, men who have "girly" cell phone rings, rude cashiers, good-byes, people who drive slow in the fast lane, know-it-alls, time changes and, oh yea, did I mention Winter 2008?

THINGS I LOVE: my sons- Joshua and Joseph, my husband- Eric, my parents and sisters, sunny days, my skinny pants, shopping when I have money to spend, saving gift cards until I REALLY need to go shopping, blasting my car stereo with good old rock and roll, when a new magazine makes it into the mailbox, vacation, a phone call or letter from a friend just to check in, Mass, the beach, a good martini, reading a book I cannot put down, fireworks, a clean home, nachos, a good scary movie, the smell of cut grass and of burning leaves, and a great evening with friends and sitting outside on a warm summer night (with a glass or two of wine, of course).
I love to watch reruns on TV, I am a HUGE sports nut (GO KNIGHTS! Chicago Cubbies, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears, and to my husband’s dismay, I still root for the good ol’ Tampa Bay Bucs) and I am the world’s biggest fan of my family.

THINGS I WISH WOULD MAKE A COME BACK:
GOOD rock and roll, kids riding their bikes till their house lights came on, MTV with videos, the value of having a TRUE friend, MC Hammer pants, slumber parties, the thrill of an ice cream cone on a warm summer night, being a teenager with NO responsibilities, mall bangs.
