Stupid!" caught me, as it must anyone who's been "rendered obsolete." The pizza comment, the husband's loving support, rolling into and breaking the ice, becoming children for a moment... Home indeed. Loved this.

I've left a lot of jobs myself, and maybe that's why this piece rings true to so many people, even though I made the whole thing up. I'm not married, I've never worked anywhere for more than a few years let alone 13, and I don't have a house bordering a forest! and I've never tumbled down a embankment into an icy river with a man I was wrestling with, for that matter! I'm really glad this little piece came off so well! thanks for reading ~Mama Pajamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278474039105398842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740055889978712690.post-29887334278014457422012-12-31T16:26:59.700-05:002012-12-31T16:26:59.700-05:00thanks, Marianne - this is a total work of fiction...thanks, Marianne - this is a total work of fiction! it's interesting that so many people are identifying with it - it must ring of truth!Mama Pajamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278474039105398842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740055889978712690.post-1812159819656122192012-12-31T15:29:10.093-05:002012-12-31T15:29:10.093-05:00I've had too many jobs that I've 'depa...I've had too many jobs that I've 'departed' from.

Life often sneaks up on us...we get things they way we want, and everything changes in a moment. We really hate changes, but life is always changing. If only we could look at everything and realize it is a blessing.... perhaps you will be a popstar after all.
