work?"

And I had to go back to work after being off for close to 19 years raising
kids and doing hobbies. I'm still wondering how other people do it,
especially the raising kids part with both parents having full time jobs?
Thankfully I have summers off, but the way my paycheck is going with no
raises, I'll be paying them to work. Having a self employed DH, and two
disabled young adult boys, my job covers their health insurance. Or I
should say my job offers those bennies, they pay for me, but I pay for my
family members. Ah well, who needs money?

Btw, my youngest son, with the help of a government funded agency has his
first paying job, 2 hrs./day as he needed baby steps, but they're steps in
the right direction. ) ~ jan
