Unemployment here I come

Submitted by Confessions of a single mum on June 6, 2009 – 9:07 am2 Comments

If your reading this from the UK you will have some idea what the job front is like. I too will be joining the unemployment numbers at the end of this month. Mixed emotions on it though and not quiet the despondent panic stricken response I thought and most presumed I would be. If I get all depressed and start worrying how I will manage then that’s negative and not productive. Instead I am taking the positive view. It will mean it will be the first time my kids won’t have to go to the schools out club or farmed from relative to relative through the summer holidays. It means I might stand a better chance of getting them to get their homework done on time and also help them learn a few extra things too. I’m looking at getting more qualifications or at least learning something with the time too. And if I come back and say in a few weeks time saying all the negative stuff, feel free to knock some sense back into me. Failing all that it will mean I can write loads more for Confessions.

  • Are you still feeling positive? I’m lucky. Never had to worry about leaving my kids at all. Hope you’re doing ok.

  • Confessions of a single mum says:

    There are good days when I can take on the world and it’s the best thing that ever happened. Then there are the days I want to hide. The kids did survive their first summer holiday being looked after by me. 6 weeks of just us was daunting but actually we all really enjoyed it. I am though slightly glad they are back into school and routine. I have found I love my own space and living life on my time scale.
