I understand completely. I was a stay-at-home mom with part-time gigs while my kids were younger. I eventually went to college at age 30 to become a nurse. But I was still expected to keep the Good Ship Litts afloat. So - two jobs, not just a career.

The work you did supporting your husband & your family was unpaid, but it was also VITAL to their health & success. You deserve to bask in sunny shores as well. :)
