Where I've Been

I feel like I haven't been online at all. Every other week my daughter is back home from visiting her dad and I usually stay off the computer when she is home so I spend more time with her. I can get way to absorbed in all my internet stuff... Myspace, MyBloggers, Craigslist, Youtube, etc.

Anyways, I've been here as some of you know since I've left comments on your blogs. But I just haven't had the time to sit down on my own and write something new.

I need to find a job as I am now a graduate and need to re-enter the world of the working people. I really don't want too though. I love having all my time to myself. That's sounds really selfish but it isn't because "my time" is really my daughter & fiance's time. Not working allows me too spend as much time in my daughters classroom as I want. I can cook Caleb breakfast, lunch, and dinner whenever he says he's hungry. (He's home on Disability due to a botched surgery) I can get all my house stuff done so that everyone comes home to a clean, cozy environment. I don't need to explain all this, everyone gets it. Why don't people want to pay people to stay home?! Gesh!

I'm really worried about finding a job anyways with the horrible economy. Arnold just slashed state workers pay to Federal minimum wage, layed off over 10,000 non-full time state employees, and put a hiring freeze in place. My hope was to go work for a county DA's office but I don't think that's going to work out to well.

I'm getting stressed out. Ohhh even writing about it is starting to stress me out! On that note, I will not go there.

I hope everyone is doing well & great! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!!!!

I know your feelings! I really like my job, but, never in all my years of working full time (Since 1978) have I ever linked who I am to what I do for a living. (I was a school teacher, and now I'm a salesman in my own business, and I'm also a free-lance writer.) If I didn't have to work, I'd be at home with my wife and my horses, playing with my grand kids, skiing, sailing, writing...I can think of a THOUSAND ways to spend my time!

I know how you feel about wanting to stay home. Before I started working from home, I didn't work at all while my kids were young. I was always in their classrooms with them, visiting my parents etc. I hope you can find something that lets you keep a nice balance with your loved ones. Easier said than done, I'm afraid. Good luck

It's a good time to be retired. My son, up in Santa Cruz, just got laid off. Hope you find something--at this point, anything!
