Well, not to feeling like I'm missing out on time with children, but more like missing out on time for ME.<BR/><BR/>My last job (in Dallas) afforded me an extra 10 hours a week (4- 7hour work days with Mondays off...) Man I miss those hours. And for a 30 hour a week job, the pay was good. Not to mention the flexibility of changing it up depending on our needs, not to mention top of the line everything; computers, desk chairs, office supplies, gorgeous building all financed from a Well to Do Foundation. What was I thinking leaving?<BR/><BR/>My current non-profit job; desk from 1945, chair from 1975 and dust and dirt from 1200 BC. ugh. I guess as a nonprofit-er I can't complain, we'll take what we can get, but after living the "high life" with the cushy schedule I'm kicking myself daily and feeling very depressed.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there... everything in life is temporary. It's all preperation for somethig better to come!!

And life is just the way it is. <BR/>I know how you feel though, I worked fulltime with my first 2. It was easy with my oldest, he loved daycare. But my second hated it. Luckily I was able to have my mom watch her most of the time. When I decided to have a third- I knew I just couldn't do it anymore- and quit working. Very hard choice. And I question that decision everyday as much as I questioned working. I miss it. I miss the income. I miss having my own thing, my own desk, and my work friendships. <BR/>Hang in there. You will get in a routine and things will be better!<BR/><BR/>SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06806298686434262006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115587.post-27774009262355012862007-05-01T06:16:00.000-07:002007-05-01T06:16:00.000-07:00hang in there chickie...i would be feeling the sam...hang in there chickie...i would be <BR/>feeling the same way. i love that<BR/>you enjoy this time with him. you should - they grow so fast. i know what you mean about, chasing<BR/>your tail. i have two the same age! right now it is trucking to<BR/>the golf course. but that is why<BR/>i began working at home. it is still madness - but i am here. my husband is an athletic director. so he is never home, and is great about helping when he can. you are lucky that you have your mom there to help out. i can't even imagine having my mom in this house full time. love her, but love my space even more.hee<BR/><BR/>i will be thinking of you!kelly barton art + designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695871881659413003noreply@blogger.com
