Currently, I am a SAHM to three boys ages 7,3, and 1.  I have worked for a year-and-a-half as a mother and then quit in March due to my husband relocating for a better prospect for himself.  He got laid off in March, but his new job is working out great.  For the first time ever, I loved what I was doing but know that I can't get back into the company.  My experience with previous sitters has not been good (no abuse or anything extreme) so I have mixed feelings about working and being a SAHM.  Since we have moved to a different state in a different part of the country, I do feel it's best to be there for the boys and help them get adjusted.  I also feel like I can prioritize and get myself together again (like before I never had time to work out and struggled with housework).  I'm starting to check out books at the library and can say I read one every week. I work out three times a week and go out walking (we live in a very pedestrian/family-friendly town). I feel what I'm doing now is a good move, but would like to go to college to get certification in my dream field and be able to work again when my youngest is closer to starting school. I am happier than I was before and feel that our move was for the best.
