Oh, Linda, so hope things work out for you very soon!!! Not having any alone time is something that you can adjust to. I'm very seldom alone. Since I work in another town, hubby is almost always home before me, and sometimes he will work from home and never leave. He does do things around the house, but has gotten pretty lax lately, so I'm feeling the pressure to do more when I'm home. Home building has been slow lately so he has more time off, but he's working on his projects in the garage.

Your husband may be concerned about taking a job he feels is below him, and how it may affect future employment opportunities. However, in this economy, future prospective employers will understand a resume with a gap in employment, or a job that is not in line with the rest of your experience, and will understand that you are working to get back into your preferred field. Employers now respect that you are trying to support your family in difficult times.

I just hired a new warehouse person yesterday who had been laid off from his previous position since December 2008. His experience is wonderful for our line of business. We could have never have gotten someone of his caliber in better times, just hope he stays when things improve.

Will be praying that things improve in your world very very soon!!
