new but old
I have been gone for quite sometime... But I always flirt with the idea of coming back in to talk to everyone.. there are ALWAYS good topics and helpful information on this site.. Sorry I've been away for sooo long sheesh its been years..i am struggling with the idea of going back to work and not so sure about it...We could really use the money and my children dd19 ds7 and dd6 are all busy in school during the day.I am not inspired to clean and cook anymore maybe i'm just in a depression or funk...I dunno..Not sure if I'm in the right place being at home or whether i would be better off in the work place. Thanks for lettin me vent.

Hi!
Glad to see you back! Well, let's take a look at things. Do you really want to go back to work or are you just restless? Let yourself "be" in this state for a while; it's trying to tell you something, and going back to work may not be the message. It may be, I'm just sayin'.

I was just thinking about you the other day! I don't post as often as I used to...and even less than that recently...but hopefully my life will regulate around Valentine's Day and I'll recover my balance...

Hi Marcie!
I remember you! No long time no 'see'
Do you remember the exchange I organised a few years ago? I think you took part in that? I also have a lovely picture of your children that you sent me one time
Welcome back!
Honey
it's always here!
No matter how long you stay away we always welcome old faces back with open arms!
I know what you mean about not knowing whether you want to work. I've found out the hard way that I really didn't want to - DH had the opportunity to follow his dream of having his own business and I let him follow it, knowing I didn't have any valid alternatives. But I now know that I won't be properly happy until I've got the staffing to the right level for me to tke a back seat and be at home most of the time.
I think Lynn's advice is good - sit and listen for a while. Don't know whether you've ever tried writing or journaling, but I often find that writing a few pages of foolscap will help me sort out any tough problems I'm having, or maybe give me some insights. Not always, but quite often. Don't have time for it much these days but it's a tool I miss. Maybe if the money's what you need you could get a part-time job to help out financially but not needing you to commit too much of your time yet.
Good luck with finding the right path for what you need.
Kerri.
