Okay, so I may not be the most interesting read and I may not say anything that you don't already know but this diary is mainly for myself. I enjoy sharing it with others, particularly my close friends so they know what's happening in my world, but its still mainly for me. I love to type out my thoughts. Its a great break from my otherwise hectic day. And I love reading over old entries and seeing how much life has changed. So enjoy the read but try not to be too critical.

What do you do when your husband is ready to walk out of his job after 11 years? What do you do when he wants desperately to get as far away from the business as possible but that is the only business he really knows? I can't even dream about finding a job that would supplement the income that he pulls in. The chance of finding a job in a different field that will pay him - off the bat - what he is making now is REALLY slim. So what do you do? He hates his job. He's sick of it. And frankly, I can't blame him. I wish that I could do more than keep the house clean and the kids quiet when he gets home. There's got to be more that I could do than that. But what? Helping relieve some of the financial burden would be wonderful but, at this point, is it even probable? I want to go back to work, in all honesty. I miss working in an office setting. But what job could I find that would allow me to have dinner ready when Paul gets home and such that will not just be enough to pay a babysitter? Sure, I could work from home but every work-from-home job requires putting money down upfront and I can't do that. So, really, what do I do? I want with all of my heart to help him. I know how badly he wants a different job; a job where he is guaranteed to get paid for the time he puts in. But what can I really do to help him out? I'm at a loss and it is so discouraging.
