Hello all!

I got layed-off my job on Fri due to company downsizing. To me, it is a praise report. My kids have been in fulltime daycare since they were 4 weeks old (now age 8 and 10). It has been a longtime desire of mine to be a stay-at-home mom. My marriage is finally at a good place. We are doing extremely well in recovery individually AND as a couple. My husband is fine with me being off since it was out of my control but he would feel better if I was working at least part-time. I'm looking for a job but the jobmarket is very slim right now. So I'm just going to enjoy it while it lasts. My big thing is I don't know what I want to be when I grow up!

So...for right now I won't be logging on and posting much. My new job is very demanding!!! raising kids and making our home a safe haven for my H! I intend on having fun with my kids PLUS keeping our house clean and making homecooked meals. I gotta laugh at me because this is truly what I want but 10 years ago there is NO way you couldve convinced me that this is what I wanted.

When the kids go back to school (8/27), I will be back to check on yall.

You guys have been a great source of support. You are on my minds and in my prayers.

I am now accepting application for those of you who will fill my shoes as the Plan B advocate!!! Somebody PLEASE step-up. Plan A is good but only for a season. After awhile it makes me vomit!!!!!!

P.S. Hey! I'm not much of a cook. Please post easy but tasty recipes!!!!

You can't do this ILuv! We need you here at least a little! Geez! I'll BE in Plan B by the time you come back!

But seriously, we're happy for you, and hope this time will make your M even closer and better!!!

Good for you!

I was home with my kids for 6 years. Best thing I have ever done. Since then, I keep my schedule so I see them off to school & can pick them up 3 days a week. They're teenagers now, and sometimes I learn more in that 10 minute drive than I do in a weekend.

Hello ILUV, So glad for you...it will be a great experience to be "home"!

I will miss all your replies. They have been very helpful for me in an especially difficult time.

Thank-you so much and good luck!

ILUV,
Please check on us from time to time.
I'll try to be a part-time advocate for Plan B. I start my teaching job next week, so I too will be very busy.
But I feel the same way you do about Plan B, and will try and encourage others.
You have been such a help to me.
God bless you in all that you do.
