Hi Corri I am home to get my kids on the bus three days a week and usually off the bus every day. Grandma watches them if I need to be at work. As stated before, I have a graduate degree which I have been putting to use teaching at the associate level. I teach a few day classes and night classes, alternating days so I don't have a 9-5 job. Works out good for the kids right now because I am basically working 20 hours a week instead of a full time job. Due to the need of my teaching schedule, I am not currently in a clinical setting (used to work in a mental health center, individual and group counseling for people with lots of serious mental illnesses, personality disorders, etc). That's where the woman threw the lighter at me, lol. Fun stuff. Anyways, I was a full time SAHM from 2000 (right after first child born) until H left (2004). Luckily, I had a connection at the college that got my foot in the door for a job and frankly, I enjoy the teaching part a little more than the clinical aspects of my degree. I've got enough of my own problems to deal with, lol. You burn out really fast working with that population. So that's that. I'm in the helping fields either way so it fits my personality. I couldn't imagine working behind a desk crunching numbers or anything like that. Just not me. LFL
