late night pondering
Oh shit.
It’s late and I have had some champagne.
This means I am over obsessing over little things.
Little things like the fact that for the first time in 15 years… I am unemployed.
Say it with me folks… oh shit.
I am now a SAHM (Stay at home mom). Yes, I am looking for work. Yes, I would love to bring a paycheck. However, thanks to certain… people… who are in certain political offices now…well, budgets are cut, jobs are scarce… yadda yadda yadda.
I am lucky that I don’t really have to work. But here inlays the problem. I had my first job at 13. I have been working all of my life. I have been making ends meat longer then I care to admit. Ironic that now that I have a master’s degree that I am unemployed. Ironic that in a city as big as metropolis I can’t really find a job.
Let’s look at my qualifications shall we?
Master’s degree in therapy
Published book (if interested in reading it email me or leave me a note)
Published articles in research journals
Speaker at conferences (three now)
National conference mentions of my book and research
And now I am a stay at home mom.
Oh my.
Don’t get me wrong; Nut is an adventure every frigging day. Today was no exception with the “projectile vomit” all over me. Figures my last day as a therapist and I would be wearing jeans instead of my usual suit and heels. In the long run, Nut actually did me a favor (I spilled coffee as I slammed into bonbon at lunch.)
Stay at home mom. I have been so long on my own that I don’t know how to relax and enjoy this moniker. Maybe I’ll read more blogs.

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog earlier.
I went from working professional to part-time SAHM so I kinda know how you feel. At first, it felt a bit isolating and boring for me, but I've grown to like being at home (though I do still work 3 days a week).
I would love to get the name of the book you published. That's awesome.
I gave up 12 years of teaching to be a SAHM. I'm so glad I did it, however there are times every day I wonder if I'll go insane and maybe should at least be working part time. As your child gets older, you'll get busier as interests grow. One way I keep sane is by going to tot classes to be around other SAHMs and get in on some adult conversations.
I'm a WAHM. I love being able to be home with my children - and being able to work in my PJ's. It can be a little bit isolating - but I think it's worth it to be able to watch your kids grow up. So many mothers miss out on that these days...
