Re: Thinking of becoming inactive for a while. Am I nuts?
Husband's job is as recession proof as you can possibly get. We have never borrowed money our entire marriage, we bought everything with cash so that helps. My Grandma was one of the feminist pioneers (she's 90 years old) I am her POA, and I take care of her too, she can't drive and she broke her hip a year ago, but was able to return home. But she has no clue what it takes nowdays to raise kids. I only have a tiny little window in my life to actively be there mom and be there for them.
I dunno maybe something less stressful would help. In the last 11 years, I've had enough adrenaline to last a life time. I'm burned out, and I desperately want to be a mom and wife. I think that motherhood is a valid career. Its just scarey to quit what I've done for the last 18 years. I LOVE being a mom!!! And DKS are at the age that they still like mom (7 y.o. and 9 y.o.) THeir activities are insane and the homework is crazy, what they expect out of those little tykes. We live in an extremely competative school district we were number one in our state for the state achievement testing. Geesh, My sister and I didn't have homework until 6th grade!
All I can think about while I'm at work is how I'm trashing them and my heart is not in it. My heart is at home with them.
