I'm officially jobless... well it's exactly a month now since my last pay cheque. If you ever wonder how it feels being a SAHM after more than 10 years in the corporate world... well... here let me tell you...
Initially it was "Yay no need to go to work anymore, now I can spend more time with the kids", then it quickly became "Urghhh... the kids are driving me nuts, how I wish I'm at work!"
I'm now the kids' full time chauffeur - to school, to after-school activities, etc. My goodness, being on the road is so so tiring. Thank you poppy for having endured this duty for the last god-knows-how-many-years.. I need a driver!
I spent my first 2 'jobless' weeks spring cleaning. So many things to clear... clothes, toys etc. that my kids have outgrown. Had my hands full listing preloved items for sale and arranging delivery. I've kinda slow down since, my spring cleaning mojo had somehow disappeared cos I've now moved on to a more exciting project :-)
When I first told a friend of mine that I've stopped working, her first response was "I'm sure you can't get used to it!" That statement is so true. Although I've no intention (at least for now) to step back into the corporate world, I can't stop myself from thinking about business ideas. I want to do something. I need to do something. But it has to be something with a cause. It's high time I give something back to the community, to do something good. And I'm so glad I've landed on a great idea for a social enterprise. I'll be documenting my start-up journey at "
Sewing Giggles"
