Becoming a Stay at Home Mom?

Well, thanks for your good thoughts...Henry was offered one of the jobs (not the one with the house...still waiting to hear from them) and accepted it on Friday morning. Which is a good thing, because after my shift on Friday I was fired. Yeah, shit. Technically my position was eliminated due to downsizing. I received word and I wasn't alone. They also fired: a social worker, 6 other nurses, a dietician, EVERY unit secretary, an admissions coordinator, 3 physical therapists, 3 occupational therapists, a bunch of CNA's, EVERY respiratory therapist. The list goes on, but I can't remember everyone right now. I was upset for about an hour and then it hit me. I have been at my wits end with this job for years now. The company has been in so much hot water with the state that it is unbelievable. I have typed my resignation up and printed it out more times than I can count. SOOOOO....this is probably a good thing. Right? Now, I can take my time and find the job that is *meant* for me. I will be able to stay home for the rest of the summer with Matthew. Henry will start his new job on Tuesday and we won't have to worry about having his mom watch Matthew. I just need to keep looking at the positives in the situation. I wasn't happy at this job.....Henry just got a new job, so financially we will be ok for a while....nurses are desperately needed, so finding a job won't be too hard....I get to spend time with Matthew before kindergarten starts in a month....I'll have free time to scrap book. Henry has been the stay at home dad since Matthew was born. Now, it is finally my turn to stay home with Matthew. Sigh....everything happens for a reason.

When the business I worked for closed - I went through the same feelings - however - as a nurse you are "in demand" I hope you can find something that you like. Enjoy the rest of the summer with Matthew!

I agree. You might not see the reason now, but someday you will. Have fun at home with your boy!
