What to do?
I have only stayed home with my kids full time for about the last 6-7 months. Previously, I have worked in social services. Honestly, I was burnt out and really tired of taking kids who weren't mine to the park. The hours are generally not conducive to young children as you can't see the kids until after school. I just received an email today from my boss (I guess I haven't yet mentioned that I have tried to fully quit, but they didn't want that trying to keep me on in any capacity). I now have to make a decision about whether to go back to work very part-time, or finally quit quit. I'm really only torn because hey who can't use some extra money? I would hate to be away from home and my kids, it's been great being here with Emma, and volunteering at Bran's school. I've struggled with the issue of if I'm truly concerned about finances I can change that by going back to work. Is social service what I really love and want to do? Not really. What I need to do is to get off my butt and take my counceling licensure test (I have my master's in counseling), but that seems like a lot of pressure too. My husband will say that it's up to me, and I need to do what makes me happy, but there is guilt there too. UGH!!!! I don't think I can even really deal with this right now.
