I'm in a similar situation, Cindy.  I'm not ready to work 60+ hours 
per week in exchange for dental and 2 weeks vacation (after a year).

Have you considered consulting?  Of course, it depends on what field 
you are in but I know people who have business, law, and high-tech 
backgrounds who seem pretty happy with it.  It's sort of like temp 
work, except you get more opportunity to pick and choose projects 
and you have more control over your schedule.  It's not as secure as 
a regular gig, but it's not as aggravating either.

For me, it's either going to be consulting, or a "fun" job at the 
Pottery Barn where I'll work for the employee discount :-).

Good luck,
