For the last couple of months I have been getting into this crazy ass world of Work From Home Jobs. I have been trying to find something legit. It seems as if they are really out there from the responses I read on some of the search sites but people are so hush hush about the jobs that they don't give any names of companies. I guess that is what you call job security. It used to be that people wouldn't have a problem referring you to a job. But this economy has people so scared of losing their own jobs that they can't even help someone else obtain one. Hello... If I don't know the names of the companies, then it is just a waste of my time. I just really want to make sure these damn jobs exist.
My life is like this, I have two kids who wake me up anytime during the night due to various reasons so there is really no way I could get up and get ready for a job outside of the house. I did that for many years and I really think it is time for a change. Plus, my kids want me here just as much as I want to be here. Staying at home does get a little hectic but I wouldn't change it for anything. I am glad my husband gave me the support I needed to make the best decision for the family. I only wish more women had the opportunity. I am so tired of women having to make a decision between making money and raising their kids. Are you kidding me. How do you even compare the two. Nothing should be more important that your family. You took 9 months out of your life to nurture a baby and as soon as you have the baby, society wants you to pass them along for someone else to take care of them. The way I see it is, when you are old and looking back on your life; Will you still think you made the right decision regarding the most important people in your life? Jobs will come and go, but your children need you there during childhood. I have seen too many people go down the wrong path.
I have a friend who just told me the most revealing news I could ever hear about her. It really put everything into perspective. I understand her more now than I ever have, and we have been friends for about 18 years now. But she told me that for the first time in her life, (the very first time) her mother told her that she was proud of her. She is 31 years old and she has never heard her mother say that to her. What is up with that. I can't even imagine that. That kind of touched me and made me really realize how valuable we as parents are to our children. We literally make our children who they are. The things we do (or not do) will stay with them forever. You never know how you can affect a person. My friend's life hasn't been the easiest and she readily admits that there are a couple of things she wish she had done differently but, it all really boils down to the fact that she wasn't validated while she was growing up. That shit is deep. After all, if you don't tell your kids how you feel about them or how important and special they are to you then they will go elsewhere looking for the acceptance. This isn't completely brand new to me, but this is the first time I have heard someone close to me admit something like this and in that same instance, I got it. It was as clear as day.
Damn that was mind blowing. This shit is like therapy. You never know what you will get from my blog. I'll end here for now. Go hug your kids :) Holla.
