Stay-at-home mom here. My daughter is 5 and just graduated Kindergarten. My son is 2. My hubby is a Lisenced General Contractor and is self-employed. He does all kinds of remodeling work. He also built our house. wow!

In my former life, pre-kids, I was a Program Manager for Group Homes for a private Non-Profit agency that provides services for adults with developmental disabilities. I supervised 6 group homes which house 5-6 adults whose primary diagnoses were Mild to Moderate Mental Retardation. I LOVED the work, even tried to go back between kids but it wasn't working. I never realized how much of my job I took home with me when it was just me and hubby. Can't have that with kids, so when it was time for baby #2, I quit. Never looked back. Much.

I'll have to go back to work one of these days, so I hope to get a job in the brand new hospital that opened last fall just up the road. Don't know what I'll do there? Something entry-level, see what happens. It will be a pay cut, but I just need to make enough, not alot. We have 208,000 miles on our minivan, scary!!!! New van? Get job!!!

My most important job is being the mother of my adorable 4 year old daughter Madeline. In my other job I work as a pharmacist in the VA Hospital in Memphis. I would MUCH rather be a stay at home MOM. Oh Well!

I work at a high school (the high school I graduated from!) in the special education department. I am a one to one aide to a student with special needs. I love my job there, but love my "job" raising my son, who is 8, who also has Down syndrome, more! He is a lot of work, but ohh soo worth it. Sometimes ya gotta be creative...but he has by far taught me more than i have taught him! Then there is my job at the Haunted House... I do construction there, planning for events, and Im an actor there. I also am a floater...what ever the boss needs me to do, I do. Its a great stress release...Check us out on the web..the site isn't up right now, but soon will be .. www.terrordome.com

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
