Stay Home Or Go Get A Real Job?

Congrats on the interview and being one of the 25 chosen out of 125 apps!

Personally, I couldn't imagine ever doing anything else, ever... EVER again. Haha. My commute to work is a short 10 steps down the stairs, I can choose to "dress up" for work or just wear lounge clothes, I don't have to do my hair or face if I don't feel like it, I am able to get laundry and basic chores done throughout the day I normally couldn't do at a different job, I always get to greet my hubs after work with a hug and kiss (even if I am covered in boogers and slobber, he appreciates it!), I get to start dinner at a reasonable hour and serve it up right at closing time (while my DC moms and dads still have to drive home yet, prep and cook their meals, nevermind serving them!), I never miss out on income due to illness - because unless I am near death I can still look after my kiddos, I have nobody to answer to except myself and five little dudes who I am happy to help raise!
I like to cook and clean, I like looking after my house and my family... and I like looking after kids! I was blessed with a stay at home mom, and if my kiddos can't have that they can at least have the next best thing - ME!

I know some days can be difficult - but what job doesn't have that (and worse)?

Congrats on the first interview going well.... the waiting will ****, but it will give you time to really think through things.

My Rep was out this week... she seems to really like her job but she travels a lot... my house is 2.5 hours from her house. While she was here, her kids called her twice. She said one of the downfalls is she has a hard time committing to the kids after school stuff because she is never sure what traffic or weather will be like and if she will make it home in time... With doing daycare we miss a lot of the school stuff too.

I did want to say.... LOL... Daycare is a real job

Sorry believe me I know it is a real job I meant out of the house. I found out the travel part of it isn't going to be to horrible it is all within a half hr of my house. And if you have things going on at school or an app you can be done at 2 one day then the next you can work till 6 to make it up which is really nice.
