I've been without a job for two years coming up on May... I was home my entire pregnancy and Cobi's first year. He will be one year in 5 weeks.
(well technically I was a very PT nanny for the last two years, lost my job in Oct.. so I was working... but it didn't feel like work especially since I brought my baby with...)
I only have an associates degree and am unqualified to do something that makes enough to cover childcare costs. The only work I could do at the moment is either get another nanny job which is SO not what I want to do, or get a weekend job in retail or food service... again... not ideal. I would NEVER see my husband or get time together just the three of us.
But I spend pretty much 24/7 at home and I feel so unfulfilled. I would like to get out more. Meet people, DO something.
I need to get my butt into gear and apply to school again and work toward getting a BA or BS. I'm going between two programs though - not sure what I want to do.
Oh - and I know I can't even just go apply for jobs and see what happens because I agreed to do daycare for a friend for the summer while she waits for an opening at her daycare...
Any other SAHM's itching to get a job?
