You can say congrats. I've been working at home for 6 years. It's been great for the mothering thing, but we've had no benefits. No 401k. No health care. Nothing. And the pay was awful. Each year I've watched my net worth drop. Scary stuff. Plus, the isolation was really getting to me. I'm a people person, dammit! Put me by myself day after day, year after year... well, bad things happen. Always a balancing act. Weighing my needs with those of my kids. It hasnt been easy.
So the kids are older now. They can handle me working away from home (I hope). Time to make some changes.
There. You've just gotten the tape that's been play through my head for the last couple of months as I've talked myself into doing this.
