Corri: Thank you again I will take you up on that email offer! Your journal entry to CeMar helped too.
LH: Thanks for the link.
Quote: I would say replace it with a good dose of empathy.
Yes, I try to do that.
Quote: my being 7 1/2 months pregnant and chasing after my 20 month old dd
Brings back memories Our dd was 20 months old when our son was born. *sigh* Take good care of yourself and your little girl.
Quote: I am not sure he will be all that keen on you returning to work if he learns of your building resentment. Have you told him how you feel about returning to work?
Yes, I have told him. The issue keeps coming up though, so it's time to stop beating a dead horse and contribute! H browses the board from time to time and reads my posts, so we had a discussion last night.
SD: I'm so glad to be able to cheer you up. It really does make me feel good to reach out and help others.
Quote: You do graphic and web design but have you considered a change of direction?
Yes, I am trying to figure out what that change should be. I'm tired of design as a career. I just want to do it as a hobby now. I do have some ideas but most of them require going back to school and that's not currently feasible. I applied to a few jobs yesterday and came across an ad in the paper that piqued my interest as a seemingly perfect solution, but H made me promise not to apply. I'll just have to give working a shot and see if our finances improve. Unfortunately I don't have the patience or desire to watch other people's children.
Thank you for taking the time to help me out guys. I'm not feeling as blue or hopeless today.
