Thanks for the warm welcome from those who already welcomed me on the other board.

MommyToAshley replied: Hi Terri and Welcome again!

I am a WAHM too ... I love the extra time I can spend with my DD but it makes for a long day sometimes. And, I LOVE every moment of it!!

It's nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your boys.

booey2 replied: Hi Dee Dee, actually I thought WAHM meant Work Away from Home Mom, sorry for the confusion. I goofed with my abreviations guess I better read up on them. Thanks for the hello. I would love to be a work at home mom but right now it is not looking good. I actually have gotten used to being out of the house. With Matthew I went back to work at 6 months, but with Thomas and our great government up here I was supposed to get 1 year mat leave but work called and asked me to come back early. I negotiated and got more money and better hours so I went back at 9 months. I look forward to meeting you all.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Gotta love going back to work early.... I went back when Zach was 2 1/2 months old, so that I would have a job.

I was not impressed... but at the same time, I'm happy to be making some money, because DH doesn't really work other than weekends - he's in university full-time at the moment. (3 weeks to go...3 weeks to go...3 weeks to go...3 weeks to go...)

booey2 replied: I understand about counting down the days til school is out. My Dh & I both attended University and couldn't wait till we were finished. Wow going back that early can be really hard. Sorry to hear you had to go then. We were hoping I could be a sahm but it just wasn't going to be , so here I sit day after day, working on a computer, blah. Enough rambling, looking forward to making new connections.

MommyToAshley replied: I hope I am not the one confusing the abbreviations. I got most of them from another source and everyone here added a few. Either way, I am a work at home mom. I thought it would be a lot easier than it has been... it's not easy balancing the time between taking care of Ashley and getting work done. If I had my choice, I would play with her all day. Oh, and I have to sneak some time in on this board too. haha. It makes for a long day sometimes!

That's what I do at home...haha. So, we are not that different after all.

Looking forward to chatting more!

booey2 replied: I guess we are not that different. What kind of work do you do? I work for a party rental company in Toronto, Ontario. All day long I input the orders of about 7 sales reps and do all sorts of other administrative work for everyone. We are a small familly business and the owners are great. Talk to you later, work is calling my name.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Oh neat! What is the name of the company? I'm going down to Toronto at the end of july for a 2 day Mary Kay Seminar, then I'm going to be visiting some family!

MommyToAshley replied: DH (TLCDad) and I run our own business -- we do web design, database development, and any kind of custom programming. We are fortunate that this kind of work can be done out of our home.

booey2 replied: I finally caught on to that after looking around a little and reading some other posts (in the farting post). You guys do a great job, keep up the good work.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Cool! That's too bad... we'll jsut miss each other! heh heh! But that's ok... another time!
