<BR>Ok, I know to most this doesn't seem like a big deal. But I have never worked. I babysat 4 kids when I was going to college full-time, but that's it. <P>This is a big step for me and my independence. I always depended on my H for everything and now I won't. I'm feeling really good about this. I'll be working in an assisted living home for developmentally disabled people. I majored in psychology with a minor in sociology, so this kinda fits in with that. The pay isn't too bad plus I'll get benefits and a 401K plan. <BR>My orientation starts May 22nd. <P>I'm so excited!!!<P>Mitzi [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]

You go girl!! I'm sure you will be great at your job. I think this will not only help you get your mind off things a bit, but it will show H, that you don't NEED him as much as you may want him, if you know what I mean. You seem to be doing great. Hang in there, I'm cheering for you!<P>------------------<BR>"If you can learn from the mistakes of others, you won't have to make them youself."<P>lady_divine77@yahoo.com

Murph,<P>Thanks! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] Unfortunately with 2 kids in school, I won't have to worry about the alarm clock! I have to get up early anyway. I think I have that inner alarm thing. You know, get up at the same time everyday, no matter how little sleep you've had??<P>jamie-lee,<P>I'm excited but nervous too. I have been a stay at home mom since my oldest was born almost 11 years ago. Went from being a college student to being a wife and mother. H never wanted me to work, and I wanted to be home with the kids. Hopefully this won't be too hard on the kids. I'm pretty luck since I'll have family members who will watch the boys for me. I won't have to pay for daycare. <BR>How are you feeling??<P>Mitzi [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]

NoTrust,<P>I knew I could do it since my kids are depending on me. But I just had to get out of the "feeling sorry for myself" mode first. It sure took long enough!!<P>Thanks,<BR>Mitzi [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]
