Goodbye all!

What will u be doing instead gravy?

dodge_driver - first thing is to tighten our family budget and see how little we can survive on for a few years - lol! next is to start crafting, i think and enter the craft show circle to earn extra income and have the benefit of being able to socialize during the shows. might sound idealistic but i'm hopeful!

Wow, what a wonderful, thoughtful, sweet post you wrote Gravytrain and you really are wise to weigh the pros and cons and do what is best for you and your family in the long run. Daycare certainly isn't the easy job some people think it is! But good luck with your new baby and thank you for your words of wisdom over the past few years. We all learn from each other when we keep an open mind and I truly appreciate all the good ideas and insights that I learn from others on a day to day basis.

On a side note, my daughter, who has 4 boys, has been taking a medical transcription course so that she can work at home and she is loving it. There are lots of options out there if you find them.

Momof4: i have thought about going the transcription route too - it's nice to have a few different streams of income just in case there is a slow period in one avenue. hmm... i think i will look into that.

Bye !!! Very happy for you !!!! This job does take so much out of a person !! In so many different ways !! It is one of those jobs that does not end at 5 pm !
Planning meals , crafts and sometimes chasing pay cheques ! Not to say balancing dcks and dcps !!! And the never ending turn over !! I have only been at it 10 months and feel like a worn out veteran !!
Enjoy your time off !! And your pregnancy !!
