However, I have a little more at stake than you, four young adult kids. <BR/><BR/>When I was terminated back in Aug of 2007, I was absolutely devastated. Two weeks prior to that, all my cars went down in 5 days, 1990 E150, 1996 Jetta and a 1977 very small motorhome. Following my termination, I was unable to pay the mortg for 8 months.<BR/><BR/>At that time, I had become so very discouraged and lost. Prior to moving here, I lived in san diego where I did child care in my home for 17 years, from which I also burned out. Well, when times are rough, you do what you gotta do, so I returned to child care in the home that I am in now (the home I almost lost after loosing my job).<BR/><BR/>I am doing fairly well, probably better than most, not rich, but "ok". This is not what I want to do. I have a masters degree as a therapist. I've gone through so many emotions to the point I thought I was loosing my mind. <BR/><BR/>At this point, it's been a year doing child care again and I'm still afraid to make any changes even though I am not happy doing child care. I'm older now and the odds just don't seem that great especially with the economy such as it is.<BR/><BR/>I encourage you to find something you REALLY, REALLY enjoy and see what you can do with it. If it is what you truly like doing, it makes it easier to do it.presioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488985344781355446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799415365728597234.post-84636467866714036272009-02-11T21:12:00.000+00:002009-02-11T21:12:00.000+00:00You should be writing more.

You have nothing to lose and more to gain! Go for it!<BR/><BR/>Then you can write about all the weirdos you interview for the jobs you have on offer, not the other way round! LIVE and enjoy the chance you have!<BR/><BR/>Loads of other people would kill to be in your position, i can't even think to have maternity leave (if i get pregnant) as i would only bring home £400 a month! There is no way i can afford to do that. You are so lucky, you go girl and be who you want to be. Good luck!!Haylzc5https://www.blogger.com/profile/09155239547637001521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799415365728597234.post-76312715666953163192008-12-26T08:12:00.000+00:002008-12-26T08:12:00.000+00:00Tough times, Customer Service is KeyTough times, Customer Service is KeyBum Atomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648339428120791132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799415365728597234.post-25431685989881071012008-12-22T06:03:00.000+00:002008-12-22T06:03:00.000+00:00thrilled to have rediscovered your blog!thrilled to have rediscovered your blog!dh sternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02857447403489123664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799415365728597234.post-79554925867773311612008-12-19T18:32:00.000+00:002008-12-19T18:32:00.000+00:00Hope you are well, Elise.
