We moved out of Dover, Delaware to a rural area of Virginia for the better education opportunity for our daughter.
I was fortunate in that I was self-employed and basically worked from home so was able to stay home from the beginning. However, I was involved in government relations/politics/lobbying and moving out of the state capitol took away my opportunities. It was fun while it lasted, I really enjoyed taking her with me when I had to make a rare daytime appearance at the Capitol when the Legislature was in session.
Now that school has started again there are 2 reasons for me to find a part-time job.........the first is for my own sanity and the second is I'd like to go back to financially contributing to the household.
I hear you on the sanity aspect, and the financial aspect also.
Now that 'my darling son' is back in school I find myself with a little too much time on my hands.
When I realized that I had been ironing for AN HOUR this morning I thought I'd gone off the deep end because I absolutely despise ironing. LOL
Actually, I was listening to Laura Ingraham, one of my faves, and I guess ironing was kind of soothing. She was on fire today talking about the horrors at Belsan and the sheeples' failure to recognize the threat of islam.
I too have been self-employed off and on as a writer/producer since I stopped working in the biz full-time. My husband took vacation on shoot days to be home with the kiddo.
The last series I worked on was for the Travel Channel. The host of the show is an extreme lib. She drank the kool-aid during her stint in Los Angeles. Of course, most of the crew was liberal too. Don't know if I have the stomach for that kind of work anymore.
