Aaron is doing his Math now, so I thought I'd sneak in here and read my comments!<br /><br />Donna...I'll still go girl...and look. :-( <br /><br />Joycee, thank you for your kind comment. I really didn't mind my job at all, and truly loved the people I worked (worked! that sounds weird) with.<br /><br />Susan, the same thing huh? It just seems so crazy. What breaks my heart is that it could have happened to one of the single mom's at work, and then what? It just doesn't seem right when you are truly ill, and have Dr's notes to back it up, that you could be fired. I could see if I called off to go fishing or something....<br /><br />Julie...thanks honey. That is totally what I was like....huh? They cut off their nose to spite their face, they did.<br /><br />Jennifer...I'm trying to stay positive. I have moments of terror though!<br /><br />Dogwood. That is the first time I've seen 'emotionally balanced' and my name in the same sentence! Thank you for your sweet sweet comment. I'm so glad we've 'met' each other.<br /><br />memememem....:-) oh, we have soooo many plans!!!!<br /><br />Sparky, thanks so much. You really encouraged me.<br /><br />Pam, thank you. :-)<br /><br />Mama Hen. Jam a plenty, baby!<br /><br />Tina. You are so sweet. I'm glad you got to the beach. I'm still working on my list! One week to go before it's OFFICIALLY fall!<br /><br />Linda...thank you. I still feel scared. So excited though I can't even sleep. Was up almost all night. I do think it's what's best for my family, and for me. I will miss my friends at work.<br /><br />And now...I must go frolic naked in the fields singing the theme song from Aladdin....so if ya'll will excuse me......Jayme Goffin, The Coop Keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760868033826492236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-78504150485055190352009-09-16T09:05:19.560-05:002009-09-16T09:05:19.560-05:00Jayme, I could feel bad for you except I know in y...Jayme, I could feel bad for you except I know in your heart you wanted to be at home doing all the wonderful things you do.

I'd try the unemployment office for sure. <br />Aaron is almost grown, he needs you more than the DMV does and the rewards will be far greater which you know. <br />Don't let the "firing" affect you cause you're better than that!

But the longer I stayed home, and grew accustomed to living with less money, the more I liked it. I began working part-time a year later, and still do, and earn half of what I used to. But the trade-off is SO worth it! I live on a very tight budget, but in return I have the freedom to do what I want. Enjoy your new-found freedom!

I have adored you from the first time I visited your blog. There is just something so special about you. I am sad that you got fired over such stupid office policies but it sure sounds like your manager was very sad to fire you. Anyway, sorry but how exciting for a new adventure and challenge for you. And, more stay at home free time and time to do what is really important to you. Great things are ahead! Don't sweat the money thing. I retired when I wanted to and it is not so bad being on a tighter budget. Money does not buy happiness.
