I hear the economy is in the tank. I really haven't been terribly affected by this ... yet. Last week I had a jolt of reality.
My boss came into my office and informed me that lay offs were imminent. He just wanted me to know that my job was not secure; no one's was really.
I have always thought that I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. It seems so fabulous. I love my Fridays off. A whole week of that would be heaven.
So I was totally shocked at my reaction to this news that I may no longer be working. Instead of thinking that I may realize my dream to be a stay-at-home mom, I went into panic mode. I worried about how much health insurance would cost through Tom instead of me...and yes, I realize how fortunate we are that we still have it available to us despite the fact that it would be for an increased cost. I worried about not contributing. WOW! Not how I thought I'd react.
I guess I really can say, I am glad to have my job...at least for now.
