I'm more than a little tired of sticking my head in the proverbial sand while life marches gaily on even as I cower in fear of getting a job. (a job? what job? what's the perfect job? what are my talents? how can I contribute to society and pay my bills and be there for the kids....
blah blah blah). Too much hysterical panic.
Not to mention leaving the butt sticking quite vulnerably just out-there.
The rational part of me gets that it's time to make like a phoenix and rise from the ashes of midlife, leave the stay at home mom career behind to start over--uncomfortably like a teenager, only not as energized, youthful or pimply. Which except for the acne, sucks the fun right out of it.
Can I just please drop the stories and move on?
It appears the only one holding me back is me.
But how do you get past your very own self?
How do women make this transition without all the angst?
