| Wish me luck!!! I can't believe how nervous I am. I've been a stay at home Mom for 10 years now. My youngest started full time gr. 1 this year. I'm going for a meeting this morning at 10:30 to find out about a PSW (Personal Support Worker) course. I just turned 40 December 15th so it's now or never. lol Can you tell I'm feeling old. lol Anyways, I'm having so many mixed emotions. I really want to do this but I'm so worried about leaving my kids. I don't want to miss anything. My husband is totally supportive and thinks it's a good thing for me to do for myself and for my kids. He thinks they need to experience some time away from Mommy and I from them. I'm sure I will get used to it but for now the thought is freaking me out. Anyone gone through a similar situation??? I would love to hear from you and how you got through it. Do you think I'm doing the right thing? Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. I needed to get this off my chest before I go this morning. I'll let you know what I decide later. Have a great day!!!

YT 2000 Club Member | I hope that all goes well for you, it must be a bit exciting!! I am a stay at home mom to 4 boy's ages 14,13,11 1/2,and 10 1/2. I decided that I liked being home for my children yet I wanted to help out a bit with money so we can remodel a few rooms in our older home, so I started baby sitting my friends 2 little girls for her. Before kids, I worked in Daycare at our local YMCA and I just love being with kids.So I just do it from my own house now! I still get to be with my kids and keep them in line Good luck to you!

| Thanks for your encouragement Brandy. Good for you...I've actually thought about doing daycare in my home too but I think I would have to do that with another adult for the social aspect. Half hour to go before my meeting. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I can relate to what you're feeling in a way... When my husband died a little over 4 months ago I was in a terrible situation financially - I HAD to pull myself together and find work and I can tell you - it was SCARY Its been almost 6 years since I worked Full Time - and 12 since I had to interview but I did it I got hired at not only one job, but 2 - but I quit the 1st and stayed with the 2nd. I know I made the right choice and just after 2 months of working there - I feel at home and just got a raise. The hours are hard - the commute right now is awful and leaving my girls is really hard but - we have to do what we need to do. I always remind myself things WILL get better one day but I sure miss my husband and it's an adjustment having to leave every day So - GOOD LUCK in whatever you decide to do. There's something really nice about seeing a paycheck with YOUR name on it |

| Awwww Vilette thank you so much for your response. I am so sorry about the loss of your husband. I can't begin to imagine what you have gone through. You are amazing to have been able to get yourself back on your feet and take the time to respond to my post. I have to admit that is the main reason I am going back is because I had a real big scare two years ago when my husband was 47 he had a heart attack. When I got the call from the hospital I immediately felt sick. I felt like my body was going into shock I began to feel like I was going to vomit and or have the diarhhea. I couldn't leave because my kids were little and sleeping. Of course this happened in the middle of the night. When I finally was able to leave and drive 2 hours to the hospital where they had taken him I didn't know if I was going to find him alive or dead. All these horrible thoughts were running through my head all the way there. One of them of course was what was I going to do financially because I was not working. This is probably the biggest reason for me to go back to work. I figure by going back to school it will allow me to make better money. Again I am sorry you have had to go through this. If you ever need support or someone to talk to PM me anytime. I felt your pain for a few short hours and I remember clearly how awful it was. Do you mind me asking how old your husband was and was he sick? You are now going to be my hero because you have obviously been able to pull yourself together and are handling things amazingly well, you should be so proud of yourself. God bless you and yours.

(MANY right on this site) and my girls, I don't where I'd be right now. I don't mind you asking - I'm better about talking about it for the most part. he was terminal and we did know it - it wasn't sudden. I remember thinking when we found out that it couldn't be true and the doctors were 'guessing' ...as time went on & living every day with it, I thought I'd be 'prepared'....but you just aren't. It was just as much of a devestating shock finding him gone as it would have been had I not known he was ill. I'm sorry about your husband going thru that at such a young age - you must have been terrified......It sounds like your husband made a full recovery but that still has to be in the back of your mind on a daily basis...I know what you mean about being 'sick' - I was too.....couldn't eat or sleep for a long time & still have trouble.... especially sleeping. in my heart I know I came a long way since that day in late August but some days I really wonder 'what's the point' then I remember. The point is trying to make the most of what we have. the best thing I can say is CHERISH who you love. It can change in an instant - and if YOU want to go out there and try something new - go for it. The day may come when it's forced on you and as you said - it's very scary if you're unprepared like I was. I should have been and wasn't. I think it was denial so speaking from experience - it's way better if you have something that you can do on your own by choice...and a bonus if it's something that makes you happy. and again - thank you for the kind words - they meant alot and if YOU need to talk - the same goes for me - pm me anytime. GOOD luck and if you do decide to try it - GOOD FOR YOU ! | |

| lol Thanks ladies......you read my mind about changing my mind later if I'm not happy with my decision. One day at a time. I'm going to enjoy going to school and the best part is my schedule works perfectly. I can still drop my kids at school and pick them up at the end of the day. Yeah!!!!
