On July 10, 2013, I officially completed 12
years of staying at home. 3 days later, I turned 39 years old. Somehow, all
these wonderful numbers and dates got me to reflect on my life. One of the conversations
I had with another stay-at-home mom kept coming back to me, especially the
following words:
If
only I could take my 2 kids to an interview and show them what I have been
doing …
When she mentioned that, I nodded in
agreement immediately! Upon further reflection, I felt that any
mom could do that! Seriously, what have I done in a dozen years that could be
measured on some level? My children are like most other children – healthy and
happy! How have I contributed to it? They probably would still be healthy and
happy even if I had been working! So, what did I really accomplish? Sadly
enough, I don’t know.
So, I am on a rescue mission; I want to
rescue myself from this feeling of self-doubt. I want to contribute on a
measurable level now. I am going back to work if someone is ready to hire me…
Hello again World!
