Default my personal challenges...long vent

After 20 years of mortgage banking, I lost my job in September. I can't complain...I got a great severance package and will draw a paycheck for 12 months. But suddenly being jobless is the strangest feeling! I feel like I have no purpose other than taking my son to school and picking him up each day. I have projects at home that need to be done but can't find the motivation to start them. To make things worse, my husband works 2 jobs so that has created some tension between us. I didn't ask to be laid off but he like to remind me that he has TWO jobs. I get it!

My 2nd thing is weightloss. Since March I have lost close to 30 pounds by exercise and change of eating habits. Notice I didn't say diet! I cannot diet so I've reduced portions, drink mostly water, no eating after 8 pm and healthier snacking. My problem now is being home everyday...I need to put locks on the cabinet doors. Help! How can I stay focused on my accomplishment?!

3rd, I am seriously considering going to nursing school but it scares me to death at 43 years old. It makes sense to me to do this while I'm getting paid but I can only imagine how tough it will be. At the end of this month I plan to attend some info sessions at a local community college to get my feelers out there. I'm not sure if I'm interested in true nursing, medical assisting, or surgical technician. It's all so overwhelming!

Thanks for listening. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My mom went back to school in her forties, so don't despair! You can do it if you want to.

I am a SAHM and I work part time. On my days off, I try to just accomplish at least one major chore/job that needs to be done. Then I do not feel so overwhelmed thinking of all the things I need to get done.

Good luck!

Sorry to hear about your job. But congrats on the weight lose!!

Its hard not to snack when home I understand that. Sometimes I chew gum to help the snack attacks.

As far as school - go for it!! I'm in my 40's and have been back in school for 2 years now getting my teaching degree. Yes its hard. Yes, things don't come as easy as they did when we were teens. But you have years of wisdom to draw from and you are more focused than most of the young kids going to college.

With all that has happened in our lives these past 2 years...if I can do it, so can you!!
