What does everyone do for a living?

To all you Just A Mom! You are doing a very important job out there. When I was little, 95% of women were Just A Mom. Life was sure different. I applaud all the Moms , home or working that make their children a prioirty. I can spot those kids in a minute in my classroom, Special bless to the lady who is a special ed. aide. My grandson, Ryan, 9, has muscualar dystrophy, (Friedrich's Ataxia) ((Awareness day, May 21, ))) has an aide that is like his legs, arms and heart. Also, another bless for your own child who needs you so much. They do teach us, don't they?

Starbright, get this...

when my oldest was in kindergarden, he made friends with Justin. From day one, he and Justin were the best of friends. Whats strange? He and Justin were the ONLY 2 kids (out of 26) that had stay-home-moms.

Now they are in 3rd grade, and yes! they are still best buddies!

On the other hand, ever noticed that Nanny 911 always goes to the houses where Mom stays home?

90% of the time I am a stay-at-home mom to a wonderful almost 4 year old daughter. The other 10% of the time I manage a tattoo studio and I am a body piercer. My baby is starting preschool this year and I will add a few more hours to my work schedule and then next year when she start kindergarten I am going back to school for nursing. (I think) At work I manange 3 artist that act like my almost 4 year old most of the time and I do all of the general shop stuff. I have been in the business almost 10 years and really love it. ~Mandy

Presently I am an embittered girlfriend working as an office manager for her cheating boyfriend.

My past jobs and soon to be new job was as a Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse. I was RN for 8 years in that field. I also did admin jobs at the Nashville VA hospital when they opened up the BMT unit. I set up policies and procedures, did inservices for all ancillary staff, and trained and preceptored all the other nursing staff for the VA BMT unit.

I am looking to get back into the field of nursing so I am job hunting. Anyone know of a good job for a RN out there?

I am also taking classes for my Bachelor of Holistic Nutrition and Doctor of Naturopathy through Clayton College of Natural Health. Hope to have those degrees sometime in 2008 or 2009.

Mother of 4 only one at home. 17 yr old son that graduates next year. He is my baby.
