Since moving to NY, it still has not quite felt like “Home – Home” yet. All of our stuff is in storage (as many of you have heard me say time and time again) and I’ve been taken from my pottery studio for a little over a year now.
So what does the What Ta Do part have to do with this – you ask? Well I’ve been thinking about going back to work lately. Sometimes I’m not sure if this is what I want and hubby certainly loves wifey at home but he’ll be happy for me if this is what I want. I quit work 2 weeks before we married some 9 + years ago so this would be a big change for me.
I thought about teaching pottery classes but then I would have to teach night classes and I’m not up for being away from Bobby when he’s home. So it would have to be working during the days – absolutely no evenings or weekends.
Well it just came to me and I mentioned it to hubby yesterday to see what he thought about it. So my thought is to apply for a secretary position where hubby works. I think this is something I would enjoy and get me out to greet the world each day. And the bonus would be to carpool with hubby every day. So when I think about it, I’ll actually get to spend an hour a day more with hubby each day by carpooling. I’m sold hook line and sinker with the thought of that and hubby says “we would even get to do lunch more often”.
I’m still thinking about this and it may take me a while to really decide if this is what I want. I have a few nerves but I have a feeling I’ll enjoy myself. We’ll see.
Blessings while you think…

I wanted something else myself… I got a job as a sales/marketing rep for a skincare shop… I do the marketing from home… including creating a blog and maintaining it for them… sending out emails… doing some graphic designs for their new biz cards, gift certificates, special event invitations, etc… I get free facials… so I can promote their work. I have to go network during the day with potential clients. I do have to attend a few Open House events but it’s only once in awhile… I’m loving it!
I hope you find something!
ENJOY your weekend!

I’ve also really enjoyed substituting in the local school – you keep very busy but always have the option of saying “no”.
I think it sounds like an excellent idea…and not for nothing, wouldn’t be too shabby to have some extra $$$ right now (just keep it under your mattress or something…I think it’s safer there! ;-). Can you find some temp office work? So as Jenlo says you always have the option to say “no. Not sure how large your hubby’s company is, but maybe they have a “floater pool” of some kind to fill in on a temporary/interim basis. Best of luck with whatever you decide!
