I was laid off from the job I've had for the last 3 years. I loved that job, it was my dream job and I already miss it terribly. I was laid off last Wednesday along with 2 co-workers. I was so upset, I felt like I wasn't good enough. I have worked since I was in high school (which is a loooong time!) the most amount of time I have had off is 6 weeks maternity leave with each of the boys.
After talking with my aunt and 2 of my friends I've decided to look at it as a blessing. I am getting paid to spend the summer with my boys. Who could ask for anything else. The scary part is that with what I do there are NO job openings in our area. I think I might have to go to school to learn something else. I just don't know what I want to be when I grow up. When I first started working I went into graphic design because that is what my mom did and she got me my first job. I went to college while working and got my degree for daycare, after 25 or so years of doing graphic design, I'm not sure I want to do daycare anymore, I'm not sure I want to do design. So now what? I'm in my 40's, is it too late to change directions? I hope not.
Also, another scary thing, I am home with 2 rowdy boys all day every day. Looks like fun is on the horizon! I never got a chance to be a SAHM. Hopefully I don't screw them up too bad!
Wish me luck! Oh and any suggestions for keeping a 10 year old and 2 year old busy, let me know!
