dear 50's women, I understand you a tiny bit better

So these past few weeks I've been a stay at home wife. I have been unpacking and trying to stay as busy as possible because you want to know something? staying at home isn't that fun. I went from being on a team, working full time, and feeling needed in a work environment to working in my own home. Its a huge change, one I didn't expect to take so hard. Before we got married and I was still in school I thought it would be pretty great to stay home but once I got a full time job I realized I loved it. Even though you don't have as much time for your own personal hobbies and you can't do whatever you want it's nice being needed at a job and bringing home a paycheck. Now that my house is pretty much unpacked and ready I've just been looking for jobs. It's very draining filling out the same information job after job application but I've been trying to apply for a lot and really keep all of my options open. It's amazing how being unemployed has created these feelings of self doubt and really needing to give myself praise for the things I've been doing because I don't have a boss or a paycheck to tell me I'm doing a good job. I was very sad for a few days but now that I'm actively looking for jobs and at schooling it's making me a lot happier. I'm ready to dive in and get back to work. I probably shouldn't have shared all that, oh well it's nice to write out my feelings.
