Thanks for bringing this up nowinsituaiton. I'm doing ok financially- I don't make as much as I could, but I'm getting grad school paid for, so I'm trying to see that as a plus. Hopefully school will lead to a better paying job- but more importantly something I want to do more than I'm doing now. I've been a graphic designer for 20+ years, and have always wanted to teach. Well, I'm doing that part-time and love it! I'm also showing dd that women can work hard and do well- staying home or not. I worked while AH went to school- put my teaching thing on hold- Now it's time for me to do what I've wanted to for so long.
