new game

Well this is a new game for me. In this adventure of sorts I will be trying a new type of life and experiences. Hopefully it will be as interesting to you as it will be adventerous for me. I not one to talk about my inner feelings or opinions. My blogs will consists of all sorts of topics, from personal thoughts to whatever is happening in the world to life experiences . I am a middle-aged woman with a husband and children. Life has had some mind blowing shocks the past few years but I have survived it all . My children are my pride and joy and I will probably repeat that often. LOL . I am currently a stay at home memaw and am enjoying the time I can spend with Scott justing watching him grow. I am also trying the new found freedom of surfing the net for all its opportunities for people like me, instead of just paying bills and such . One never knows the range of the internet til you start searching for what it has to offer.

odd form of relief

I had a rude awaking a week ago. As a working part of my household , which includes a four year old , my life is busy. The job I was working was mostly hard labor and at my age I was finding it more difficult to do. My health was starting to concern me, especially since my bout with pneumonia . The four year old just started pre-k this past year so there was more colds and fevers than usual . Needless to say i missed a few more days of work than most , but i was hired with the knowledge that i was a "working memaw" of sorts and would miss work if my child was sick . So, with the economy the way it , jobs as scarce as they are , why am i not that upset that my job was terminated after missing three days this past week for staying home with Scott for running a very high fever ?
Is it because I had already told them during the hiring process that when my children are sick they are my number one priority? Or is the fact that it was getting harder to do the back breaking manual labor I was constantly given ? My heart tells me that it was a little of both with a touch of needing a change in my life . I am more at peace after getting out of that type of job than I have felt in awhile. Even though there is still the stress of not having that paycheck , I know that I will be fine. The reason for that is , I still have my children whom I will always put first . They are the greatest gift I have ever received , my blessings on earth. In a word, thank you to my former employer for letting me go so that I can keep my priorities straight. There are more important things to do in life than just keeping a job for the pay and that is family and health and love of thyself . I know that I will find another occupation and hopefully it will be what I've been soul searching for .
