I now have one son who was graduated from college this year, two sons still in college, and a daughter looking at schools for next year. Time wasted??? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Our reason was, and over the years it ended up true, if I wasn't home, he could not accept overtime. His time and a half pay more than made up for what I could make.
I remember there was one gal who made the comment about something "Since you're home, it won't matter what day" and one gal who asked if I'd watch the children of a friend of hers while she worked. Huh? In her defense, she was just asking and when I told her no she didn't try to change my answer.
I attribue my staying home to all 3 kids having college scholarships, though one instead joined the Navy, and my daughter now has plans to go to med school.
(all with no student loans!)
I've already said my ID is my basenji kennel name, something that would have never happened if I had stayed home

My ID is just my first initial and last name and then my birthday, May 29. This is what I use for just about anything, including email. I was never very good at coming up with different names for things or I would forget them. :)

I am Wagoza... at least that is my alien name. Many years ago my kids and I had lunch at Burger King and of course there were kid meals. The theme was 'Men in Black', the movie. One of the activities was to figure out your alien name. There was a scrambled alphabet along with the standard alphabet and you needed to match the letters to find your name. Mine was the only one we could pronounce so it stuck.
My kids, now ages 21 - 14, still call me Wagoza when I don't respond to 'mom' or Denise, my human name. I have even put Wagoza on my personalized license plate. It is one way to keep my kids with me all the time.
