So I guess I'll hold off. In fact, what you are telling me let's me know it is the right decision to hold off. <BR/><BR/>I just wish some money fairy would pay us all to blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330491478645839180.post-55191325887641866172009-01-26T17:23:00.000-05:002009-01-26T17:23:00.000-05:00What you're saying is my fear. I had a great job ....What you're saying is my fear. I had a great job . . . been there for 12 years . . . started full-time before I had kids . . . went part time when I had kids (30 hours a week). Very flexible . . . go to school stuff, or not, work at home when there's no school, etc. But they were always in daycare during summer.<BR/><BR/>I got laid off December 31st. I WANT to work, but I'm afraid of not having that flexible schedule and not being home when they get home from school and not being able to go to their stuff.<BR/><BR/>Ugh . . . if you figure out how to do it, lemme know!

I, too, like the flexibility to lie within me making my schedule to slide some work in "where it fits for me" so that I can still manage the field trips, doctor's appt., household chores and other duties.<BR/><BR/>May I ask, what exactly this job is? Christmas and Valentines and cards and wrapping paper. That's all I caught but it left me very curious (and a little confused)? <BR/><BR/>:-) But, I AM having a brainless day today...Farmer*swife a/k/a Glass_Half_Fullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369013637299261668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330491478645839180.post-43448485557076239952009-01-21T22:08:00.000-05:002009-01-21T22:08:00.000-05:00I like a schedule too--that job would not work for...I like a schedule too--that job would not work for me either.Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330491478645839180.post-77875435093599609042009-01-21T18:19:00.000-05:002009-01-21T18:19:00.000-05:00ugghhh....I can feel your pain.

It seems like a lot of juggling for not that much money, huh? At least I get to work with fun people and learn about all kinds of things like STD, mono, strep and premature ejaculation.
