09-6-2009 - What To Do Now?????

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

---

I'm not sure if it's my hormones trying to get back to normal or what, but I have been so overwhelmed with thoughts of the future lately. I have always work and made my own money. Ever since I got pregnant with my DD and had to go on bed rest, I've been out of work. My husband makes decent money, but we've always had 2 incomes and now we have another mouth to feed so expenses have increased.

I never pictured myself as a SAHM. I've always had a plan in place of goals I wanted to accomplish, and definite time lines to achieve those goals. Now, I feel like I don't know what to do. My priorities have changed. I have 2 children that need their mommy to be involved and hands on during these critical times of their lives. On the other hand I have so many goals I would like to accomplish to provide a very comfortable lifestyle for my family.

I know money isn't everything, but I don't want to struggle all of their childhood either. If my husband and I are strapped for cash and can't do the things we use to do like vacations, dining out, shopping, etc then I might not be as content staying home. Money allows you the opportunity to experience a lot of the luxuries of life.

Now I'm having trouble sleeping at night. Not only because I have a baby that wants to nurse every 2hrs, but my mind won't slow down. I need to put a plan in place whether it's staying home with the kids or going back to work I need to make some important decisions. I just want to make sure I make the right decision for my family.

I totally agree with you. I have been having that same debate... My mind is going a mile a min. Thinking about what steps to take at this moment... I lost my job in my 8th month Preg... So we are down to one income as well... Just moved and everything... I figure God has given me the time off I asked for and now there is now where to go but UP!! My advise is that if you can afford to take a few months and raise your family then go back to work...
