I’m two weeks in with no official job. My co-workers were my friends. My adult social time was spent speaking to them as well as clients. I now have a wide-open schedule and two kids I can devote to. After a full week of spending time with my daughter and my niece, I give MAD PROPS to stay-at-home moms. Mind you, my daughter and her cousin are 13 so you can imagine the amount of sass involved there. It kinda wore me down a bit.
Moms – How do you do it? There is barely a thank you, or an appreciation for being the Uber, the one feeding them and taking them where ever they want to go. Then you take them somewhere you think is super cool (Krause Springs for all you ATX peeps) and then they don’t even want to stay for an hour.
I need to figure out who I am without work. What is important to me? I am realizing friendships are important to me and I have neglected those because of work. I put so much ‘stock’ in my job and the number of hours I needed to commit to it – and for what? What is most important in life? I know right now it’s not a textbook 9-5 corporate job. I am going to figure out how to provide for my family on my own terms.
I am also going to find out how to do it without paying some random internet person for their “formula” or “course”. Thanks to Facebook for sure scanning my text messages and e-mails and posts, I’m getting FLOODED with the “side hustle” and the “how to make 50k per month doing x,y,z” and almost all of them claim to be millionaires? Oh right, they are probably millionaires by pumping in thousands of spend on Facebook CPC ads and then hoping some poor gullible person pays the money to line their pockets for their “manual or course”.
The internet is full of FREE information, so I’m going to do the research myself and figure out what works for me.
The good news is I have most of my “must dos” already done for the last two days so I’m making progress – one day at a time!!
