I have mixed feelings about it. Maybe writing this will be like therapy...hey a free shrink session.
I always wanted to be a stay at home Mom. I planned on it. Life isn't what you plan and so I have to take my talent/skill and work. I never bought into the "you can have it all career and family" stress. I think the moment you bring children into this world, your job is them. They deserve it.
I don't want to, but I am excited too.
It is flattering to hear that someone values you...that you are worth so much per/hour etc....that you are better than the growing pile in the laundry room.
I don't want to work. I want to be with my kids.
I am not the kind of Mother that can't wait for the day when they will finally be all grown and gone. Frankly I don't ever want my kids to leave my daily life- they can grow up and move on, but live on the other side of the bushes, please.
I am excited that I will be with professionals again. When I went to the office today and saw other interpreters, it was nice to see old friends. I will have a chance to be ME.
I'll have to buy make up.
I hope my kids will know I love them and that I will always come back...
Do you think Benjamin will understand? I mean he is only 10 mos.
I worked when Alex was 6mos and look at him- he texts me.
I can barely handle my life now,seriously. Will money help that much?
The laundry pile will get bigger than usual.
I have good helpers.
soooo as soon as I pass the pee in a cup drug test and the ssn clearance, I will be working....away from the home.
It will be good...i hope
My new job.

Hey that is a good thing. Sad to leave home, I thought you could do this from home. Any chance of that?
It's one of those bittersweet things, good to have something for you, someone that values you, well that tells you that you are valued anyway ;).
But it's hard leaving the kids, they'll be ok and they'll appreciate you even more when you come back!
I think you'll be happier and healthier just by getting out of the house and doing something professional everyday. And you're pretty good about getting the kids organized to do their part.
How is homeschool gonna function if you're working?
ditto on the homeschool question.
I a little envious.
I will work at nights.
We typicallly home school for 9 am - and finish up around early afternoon. The afternoon is reserved for "projects." That means knitting, art, comic book making, sewing, photgaraphy etc. We also have classes that the kids go to in the community ie Spainsh, Co-op, advanced art, Science @ U of R etc.
The center I will work for closes at 1 am and opens again at 6 am.I culd dropp off Alex ant seminary then go work until teh kids wake up, but I am thinking nights.
I am only working part time, I can make my own hours as long as I show up once a month...
I figure I will work a few nights (and maybe a Sat afternoon) and make it back in time for the 1 am feeding.
I don't think working from home would be successful.
Conrad I made the cartoon. Stick figure families are popular bumperstickers here. Mine is too big for my minivan window. I haven't found a chicken figure either. I'll send you the URL where you can make your own
