Thanks friends, I get frustrated at the comments from others about my current choice, so needed some support. I can always count on you to help me out.
I might decide to work again, but for now it's nice to just have some free time and do what I choose to. It's annoying that no matter what we do it seems someone has to find fault.

I've actually been checking out some telecommuting jobs, which would mean I could work from home again, but even if I decide to go that route I know they'll still think I should be out of the house. The 7 yrs I've telecommuted in the past, I found it was hard for my family to see it as legitimate employment simply because I didn't have to leave home to do it.
Oh well... As I have in my siggy... "I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life." and right now I'm focussing on making a life.
