I went back to work after 10 years at home. I have been working full time for two years now. Every day I struggle with so many pressures and the guilt of not giving to the two youngest what I was able to give to the two oldest as far as time and investment in them. But through this experience I have learned to shed the things that are not necessary so that we have the time Nd resources for the necessary. We cancelled cable and I am a super couponer now. We save around 400 a month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663630204513110178.post-40990154935693893482011-09-29T21:06:37.197-07:002011-09-29T21:06:37.197-07:00When the economy took a downturn, it took me almos...When the economy took a downturn, it took me almost 2 years to find full time work again after 8 years at home with my children. I know that during the time I was frantically looking for a job I wasn't really a SAHM anymore. Sadly, my days were fraught with worry and concern that employment was so hard to find. I tried to give it up to God, but he was waiting for me to be really ready. I'm two years into full time work, 2 kids in school and one 3 and 1/2 yo. I am eternally thankful to be working for many reasons, but am going through a sad period because I miss so much time with my youngest. I know that with God's help we will all be fine. During the slow period for my husband's business we accumulated sooo much debt. Even though things are better now, I am not sure we will ever dig out. But, we are so much better off than we could be. To God be the glory.-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663630204513110178.post-41636111303487924222011-08-30T07:08:50.385-07:002011-08-30T07:08:50.385-07:00My family is doing fine.

I am the one who feels guilty because we can't afford....or I scrimp just to buy shoes for my children when the church asks for help for other families. I have to remember that God has and does ALWAYS supply our needs and leave it at that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
