Not going back to school........

Well today would have been the day that I would have gone back to work. So I am officially a Stay at Home Mom for this year since I was not able to find a new job.
Things were pretty hard last school year, 7th grade just wasn't my calling and the snotty school that basically told me I "wasn't good enough" was not a good fit.
I went on a few interviews, tried to enter another field, but nothing panned out, and now I find myself at home with my 3 boys and depending on DH's salary.
I hate it! I hate not having extra money, I hate not being able to pay down my debt, or stressing with the what ifs of God forbid Davide loses his job.
I am grateful for my boys, and being able to enjoy this time with them. Being able to put them on the bus, and help them with their homework, volunteering in their classrooms and chaperoning class trips. Being there when Christopher is working hard with all his therapists and witnessing all his milestones.
I believe that the good outweighs the bad, and I'm sure when the timing is right I will find another job.

Enjoy the time! Cut back on the extras and realize that you can pay down debt later but you can't get this time back with your kids! And if your DH gets fired you too can do my plan B--- sub EVERY day, lol!avyf

Goodness I didn't realize you and I were so similar! I'm so in the same boat as you right now. Unemployed and while I enjoy every moment of time with the kiddos and dont' want anyone else to watch them, I yearn to eb working nad have panic attacks about money and debt. Let's clone ourselves and one self can return to the working world unphased by any health or household or child or husband issues and be the perfect full-time and overtime worker! Perfect solution. As long as our clones contribute 90% of their salaries, we should be good
