But yet, I am struggling with anger over being let go, even still. I gave that place my all and was thrown out the door after a simple mistake which hurt no one (except me.) The part time coding job at home is very slow. I didn't even get any charts this morning, even though I got up early so I could work. I am not one of those people who feel that a woman should bring in a wage...by taking care of a home and raising children, a woman does one of the most important jobs in the world! I feel more guilty because my job loss means my husband has to work more, which is not good for his back. If it wasn't for that, I don't know if I'd be looking this hard.

My temp job starts in less than two weeks. So I know I will have money to get my kids a little something for Christmas. I'm so glad they're older so I can explain to them that gifts will be little to nothing this year due to my job loss. That part doesn't bother me too much. I was hoping to decorate the house this year because I lost baby December during this Thanksgiving holiday weekend last year. I never got into the spirit of Christmas last year, having no energy at all after my surgery. Can you believe it's been a year already since I lost my little one?

I leave you Psalm 100, which is known as the Thanksgiving Psalm. Have a wonderful, joyful Thanksgiving to my readers.
Psalm 100 King James Version (KJV)
100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

I have known two people that sold life insurance. They both hated it and could not pay their bills w/ what they were bringing in. Unless this guy is going to promise you a base salary, I wouldn't do it. -Natalie
Nope, no base salary is included. But I'm at the point where even a small something is better than nothing. I sure appreciate the feedback, Natalie!
I actually wanted to say more but had to get back to work . The two women I spoke of that it didn’t work out for them: The first one was use to making $75,000+ year (she was displaced as a computer programmer) and the other one was not out going and lacked self-confidence. YOU may do well but I *think* it is a very high turnover field and you will not even be making minimum wage at first. Something to consider – I work for a major (red) bank and I pay less than $15 a month for life insurance for my husband & children – you will have to sign up a ton of people to make a living even w/ 50% commission on policies like mine. At first I thought that you were only going to big companies and answering questions about the policies, and out brochures, etc. I have a friend that does that with vision insurance. She is hourly (no commission) and she enjoys it. The bad(?) part is that she is employed through a temp agency not the insurance company and very limited hours. But at least when she works, she knows she’ll be bringing home a check. I hate to be ‘Negative Natalie’ but you did ask for opinions. I have been where you are and I understand completely how your moods go up and down day-by-day. It will all work out for the better (been through it 2+ times and I always got a better job) just hang in there and try to exercise if you can every day (even a short walk will help). When I was out of work the YMCA offered a program “The work out for the out of work” when if you had been displaced – you could use the gym for free. -Natalie
