I quit my job when my kids were 1 and 5 and it was THE WORST TIME IN THE WORLD TO QUIT MY JOB! We were behind in all payments, our house and truck were almost taken from us. But I got in a huge fight with the boss one day and realized that my kids needed me and I needed them. So I told her to go to hell and walked out that day. I was terrified to tell the hubbie I quit but when I did, he was very supportive. We learned that there was so much we could do without. Hell, I was using scissors to cut one paper towel into 4 for napkins. I used a half of a paper towel for a coffee filter. I cut open the toothpaste tube after it seemed to be empty and thought I struck gold when I saw that I had a few days worth left. I didn't buy lipstick that I wanted for a year because I needed diapers. I cut wipes in half. It seems pathetic to think about but I was home with my babies and it was working for me. We did struggle for a long time but we never gave up on our faith that God will provide. I hope you are able to find a way. I can't imagine how horrible it must be for you to plan for this trip!!! With the computer, so much is possible from home! Don't give up researching ideas!!Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13877564312244508811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074631023625053699.post-85415645272913973262011-02-04T22:27:11.241-05:002011-02-04T22:27:11.241-05:00My heart goes out to you!

And it's good you to miss each other a little. And maybe you'll get a super bad cold in June and can't go on the trip (wink wink). We make it work because we have to. And I firmly believe a child cared for and loved by many is a very good thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074631023625053699.post-52102575836146018322011-02-02T20:46:00.193-05:002011-02-02T20:46:00.193-05:00That is so hard Di!

Thankfully it didn't last though. <br />Is there anyway you could manage to work at home sometimes? I hope you can find a way to work things out so that you can feel good about things.Tylainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211476019559402950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074631023625053699.post-33701427373884136342011-02-02T19:12:01.354-05:002011-02-02T19:12:01.354-05:00I am so very sorry!

Besides a brief stink as a nanny when I was pregnant with our oldest & then later as a substitute teacher, I have been able to stay home since a month before we got married in early 1998. Even now that my kids are 11 & 9, I still stay home so that I can volunteer in many ways. <br /><br />I sure wish everyone could be as blessed as we have! It hasn't always been easy but we've made it work. <br /><br />Praying for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074631023625053699.post-59777697169222732522011-02-02T16:15:05.133-05:002011-02-02T16:15:05.133-05:00I can relate and now as a SAHM I have had it both ...I can relate and now as a SAHM I have had it both ways.

It literally made me sick to my stomach to even think about leaving her. I was fortunate, we determined we could afford for me to stay home. It's tight, but we are making it. I'm sorry you are having to go through this, but know you are not alone. There are lots of moms in your position. Hopefully you can connect with them and support each other. Hang in there! Most importantly, know that you will all be OK. Change is never easy, but you will get through it intact. All of you.Elizabeth Flora Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729450308659877966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074631023625053699.post-9246707620701313522011-02-02T13:18:45.514-05:002011-02-02T13:18:45.514-05:00I hope that you can either find a way to stay home...I hope that you can either find a way to stay home or to make peace with going back to work. <br /><br />I stay home, though I do work from home now. But, we definitely don't have any extras b/c of it. And sometimes, we don't have anything for what we HAVE to pay and we are deciding which bill can be put off for another month. <br /><br />I think it's hard, no matter what choice you make.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811697675090627618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074631023625053699.post-75809129077418979822011-02-02T12:37:49.646-05:002011-02-02T12:37:49.646-05:00I absolutely fear this as well.

No way to NOT work. Benefits are through me, too many bills to make it work. Sigh. I am so sorry sweetie.Kakunaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680945395324128951noreply@blogger.com
