Hola...
Just wonderin' if there are any other stay at homers other than myself. Sure would like to hear your stories as to why you've decided to do this. Here's mine:
Welp, when Naomi was a year and a half old, we moved from our home town to Albuquerque, NM. Being strangers there, we didn't know anyone I trusted to leave her with, so it was decided that I'd stay home to care for her. She's 24 now and here I am still!
Alex Jr came along 5 years after Naomi and that just really cemented the idea that I should stay home with our kiddos
. Of course, in 2005, Naomi decided she was ready to move out on her own and did so with her best friend. We advised her that sometimes 'best friends' realize they truly aren't and maybe they shouldn't do this. They did and a few months later, they were at each other's throats and ready to call it quits! At that time, Alex Jr, who had just turned 18, was ready to make a move of his own. So, it was decided that both my kids would move in together. So in October of '05, the hubby & I became empty nesters. I was pretty miserable for a while...just cried and cried...I have been so very close to my kiddos...they're everything to me. And now I was alone.
I decided that after all these years...I was gonna git me a job! I went to the first place I could think of...Garden Ridge Pottery. There was a method to my madness in that the kids' apartment was just a block away from this store. I got the job and started working in their candles department in November of that year. As luck would have it, we sold our home and moved almost an hour away...so after just 4 months at my new job...I was forced to quit!
I loved the experience and hope to start looking for my next job soon.
Hey...one of the most AWESOME things about this job is that I was constantly on my feet and before I even knew what had happened...I'd lost 20 pounds!!! OMGoodness y'all!!! I'd been dieting and exercising for years without such wonderful results!
Ok...that's my stay at home story...let's hear from some others...provided that I'm not the only one here that is
