Stay-at-Home-Mom
Wednesday, July 30, 2008
As you have all read from my twits, I was layed off on Monday morning. I feel like I've been dumped by my true love. I'm not sure what to do with myself and I want to call him to see how he's doing without me. Are you sure you're ok? Doesn't life without me suck? How will you get by? You NEED me. Don't you? *sniff*
Day three of unemployment and I realize that being a stay-at-home mom is not all bon bons and Oprah. I was always afraid of what 'staying at home' meant, fearful that I would resort to sitting on the couch, devouring lean cuisines and watching baby daddy's get dragged onto tv for paternity tests. *Gulp* As it turns out, the days fly by and the tv doesn't even get turned on. In between looking for a job, I want to take H. to the pool every day, hang out with my other friends with kids, and go to museums and the Botanic Gardens.
The question now is, what am I going to do? Ultimately, I will probably need to find a job that requires me to shower and brush my teeth every day. And wear clothes that aren't pajamas, and put H. in day care. I miss her already. Until then, I will enjoy every precious second with her.

Oh, sorry to hear about the layoff! :(
Unemployment sucks. But, it sounds like you have a good attitude and Hadley to spend even more time with...that's good!
Good luck with the job search!@!
What a tough adjustment. And it is amazing how full your day can still be without 'work'.
All the best luck, not that you need any!
It is a shock to the system, isn't it? I'm sure you can find lots to do in the summer, and just enjoy some free time. But there will be days when you'll look back at the past week and not be able to think of where all the time went.
I sincerely hope than you can make the transition back to work when you want to, and that you don't end up getting frustrated if it happens later (or even sooner) than you wanted. I gotta say that spending two freaking years looking for a decent job didn't help my self esteem much. But I sure loved spending every other day at the beach last summer.
