It has been quite some time since I got my last paycheck from my employer. That is because it has been several years now since I quit my permanent job and became a full time stay at home mom.

But it doesn’t mean that because I stay at home, I no longer earn. On the contrary, I have more opportunities to earn because I have more time to work on different things and thus contribute to the family income.

When I say I am reminiscing, I remember the times when at work, I have to dress to kill because I meet with clients and also distributors. Because I deal with different people everyday, I have to look my best. I also attend and even organize special events where we have to dress up for something like an evening dinner. I remember the reports that I need to prepare and the quota that I need to meet because I was in direct sales. And most of all, I remember getting regular paychecks because I am a salaried employee. I also made some occasional payday loans whenever I was short because I knew I could pay them from my salary.

Well, those were the days. But all in all, I never really regretted my decision of leaving the corporate world in order to concentrate on taking care of my family and becoming small entrepreneur. At least I can spend more time with the kids and watch them grow. If only I had more support from you know where, I think that my home life would be very abundant and blissful. After all, I am a woman with simple wants and my happiness is really shallow. Hahaha…

My working days were good while they lasted. But I found great joy and satisfaction in what I am doing now. Sometimes though, I wonder, what would my life be if I hadn’t left my job? Hmmm…
