Mostly I stay at home, but I do go to school part-time and we also volunteer for political campaigns. I'm probably busy anywhere from 15-30 hours a week depending on what is happening.

I work inside the home, but I don't own my own business, nor am I a wife or a mom, so I didn't vote, lol. I'm a SAHS(stay at home sister lol). I've explained it all here. I guess I got kinda ahead of you christstar, I didn't realize you had more questions up your sleeve.
Whispers gentle hint: Things like this are why I always try to include an "other" in my polls.

I'm a full-time outside the home (40-50 hours a week) mom. Fortunately, the company I work for has a very liberal flex-time policy so as long as I get 40 hours between Monday at 12:01am and the following Sunday night at 11:59 pm, I'm fine. Sometimes it's a struggle, other times, it's no problem to put in 50 hours...
BUT...I love what I do, it's fun, it's interesting, it's challenging...I don't think I could handle being home full time again...

OneOfHisJewels, you should vote. The OP didn't say that you had to be married or a mom.  She wanted to know about all of the women here. Even though the chose selection said SAHW or SAHM... I think you should still vote. 'Cause you definitely work hard, girl.

There are times I feel ancient in this folder, and other times I feel like a baby.
So I'm wondering, how old is everyone and where are you in your life station??? (married, single, kids, no kids, old, young, retired, in school, etc)
I think I'll do a series of polls and post the results between polls.

I work somewhere between part and full time outside the home. I usually work 30-35 hours a week. I plan (hope-pray) to semi retire in a couple of years.

I work inside the home. I'm a SAHM. For now, any work that I do will be inside the home (I currently do some magazine writing, and I look after another baby.) I used to teach skating outside of the home (obviously, though it would be cool to have my own ice rink) but we can't swing that anymore with Dh's job and one car.
We have talked about me working outside of the home when we're done having kids and they are all in school, but that would be part time. Plus, I kind of want to get my Master's degree once they are in school. Also, I would love to get more involved with a charity I work with now, something more permanent once I have the time. But that is all in the future because we've just begun having kids.

I have taught forever (or so it feels) and I am well suited to it. I am also an illustrator. Since we move, though, I have lost my art network and have to build a new one. Also, having taught in private schools for the most part, I don't have a certificate. So now I am serving breakfast at a motel one mile from my home. It is nice that it gives me time in the afternoon to work on art or on our house. It stinks cause I have to work every other weekend and miss church.
so I am definately in the middle of change.

I am back in school, working on starting my own business, and am working part-time as a performer. I used to work full-time in a nice but excruciatingly boring corporate job.
Each day, I'm discovering something new that God is doing in my life. I am somehow moving steadily towards what a previously thought was impossible - a vocation in the arts (writing, music, and maybe some video/film).

Wow, Memaw, that's a lot of work. In light of doing all that for him, I hope in return he helps you around the house, or that you have a cleaning person.

none, only because I'm not married..
I sure want some, though!
If I am still single at 40, and if I can afford, I may even look into adopting a girl.

I never wanted to teach, but did it to put my husband through school and now I'm starting my seventh year and none too thrilled about it. The first day of school did not go well today 
I really, really, really want to be a stay-at-home-mom. The mom part will happen very soon whether I'm staying home or not, so I guess that's the most important part
