You describe my double feeling quite adequately. I'm so happy my children have enough space to play and partially live on without lacking much except school and friends. On the other hand I miss office life and the way it quitely demands social contacts and intellectual novelty in a way my home work doesn't. We get all work done, perhaps even more efficient than in the office setting, but the novelty sure is gone. My work has shifted from change to production.
