I really appreciate it! You girls made my day!
This is my third week off. I am really glad I did it, although a little stressed too because the hospital bills are piling up. I have applied at a college around here and I will find out soon what other classes I'll need to get a teaching certificate! I would want to teach math or science because that is what I'm good at...but right now I am just focusing on my health, my diet, and packing (we bought our first house and we move in 4 weeks!!).
My parents....they are fine, but they won't ever change. I love my parents to death, and my mom is my best friend, but I just wish she wasn't so ashamed of me right now. She says things like, 'I still haven't told people I work with that you quit, I'm not going to'. I just don't understand why her WORK friends come before me being happy. It's almost like she's embarrassed of me, and she doesn't fully understand IBS so she blows it off in a way. It really doesn't make my stomach any better, but what can I do?
My husband is really supportive, and we are trying really hard to get pregnant right now, so hopefully things will start falling into place soon.
Bottom line is that my job was causing more health problems because of a huge amount of stress, and I didn't like what I was doing anyways....I have tried to make my parents proud my whole life, and this was such a hard decision for me because they wanted me to be an engineer - and paid for me to go through college. I still have hard days where I feel really guilty for being at home. I am happier now though, and Justin tells me that all the time.
Thank you so much for asking. It's so nice to have people that care/understand to talk to here!
Love,
Cara
