There are things I do like about my ...I love home. There are things I do like about my job, but at this time in my life, I am tired and I want a quieter, simpler life. I work with disabled kids, which involves a lot of caretaking. My eldest daughter has health issues and I help a lot with her 3 (soon to be 4) kids. I feel I've paid my dues. I want to water my flowers and sit on the porch with my cats and dogs and look at my garden. I want to be available to help with my grandkids. I want to sew and garden and take a few trips--even if I have to camp! But I also need health and dental insurance so I have to keep working full time. At least I do get the summers off. I worked in school catering, so I know how grueling it can be. Still, I did enjoy it most of the time. It's just the dailiness that gets one down!

I have been an ICU nurse for about 26 years and get that feeling every time I get home. At one time I felt fulfilled and complete working. Now, I just want to stay on the farm. I would love to spend my days home and working. There are jobs that pay the bills. If farming would just pay what working outside the home does we would all choose a different occupation. I'm glad that you get out early enough to enjoy your afternoon. <br />KellyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257564938538898594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-68131028160325271712010-04-30T08:30:05.280-07:002010-04-30T08:30:05.280-07:00Hi, Kathleen!

In your first posts about it, you were so excited, but today's post - you sound so tired. I'm so very sorry for that. You are so sweet and it's just heartbreaking to think of you feeling down.<br />Do know that you are doing a wonderful thing for both your family and the people you provide a wonderful breakfast and lunch for daily. I know that they ALL appreciate your sacrifices and your work even if they might not be able to tell you.<br />I'm thinking of and praying for you as you are going through this period of adjustment.<br />I'm so happy for you that you're still able to see all the beauty around you - your flowers and plants are just lovely. I'm still so jealous of that green thumb of yours! You're always so encouraging to me (even though we both know that I kill silk plants!)but you make me want to keep trying. So I don't give up...<br />I pray that you always keep seeing the good that is to come for yourself, as well!<br />Many Blessings,<br />JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219697351256084803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-65692694880913445512010-04-29T21:26:26.758-07:002010-04-29T21:26:26.758-07:00Hey Kathleen - wow your radishes look great.

Nothin' like fresh green onions with whatever you're eatin'!<br /><br />I miss being home. I stayed home with my kids until they were all in high school and the end of junior high. I was very blessed. I miss all the painting I used to do, I even miss housework - I have to let things slide alot. I miss most of all the time spent with my mother and/or dad. They are getting older. I used to so spend a whole day with them before I went back to work. We'd have lunch, and Daddy was always piddling on some project that I'd help him with (the garden). Or mom and I would go shopping. They won't be able to keep up before too much longer. I sometimes sit at work and think about all the fun we used to have....Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-46522488823835968122010-04-29T20:53:29.757-07:002010-04-29T20:53:29.757-07:00When I worked, I only wanted to come home and nap,...When I worked, I only wanted to come home and nap, lol!
