I did it!

OK, I know that in my previous post I was day dreaming about staying at home with the kids. And then well...being the spontaneous women that I am...I DID IT! I resigned. Felt a bit scary, thought about if for about a month, then one night watching my little man playing on a blanket on the floor I thought, THIS is what is important, THIS is what I'm going to remember about my life when I'm old, when my kids have kids and we are all at the table for Holidays are they going to remember Mom at Home or Mom never home?! And so... well the rest is obvious, I left my job and have been home all week with the kids. I have been less stressed and able to really enjoy them not just hurry them off to bed each night in preparation to rise early and drop them off again. I feel like a better wife also because I haven't been irritated at what he doesn't do since I'm home all day I just do it and he comes home and we just enjoy it. I'm sure there will be some financial stress, some days I'll long for adult conversation but all in all I feel it is the best choice for now. Just thought I'd share!

  1. Thanks for reading my blog..I've enjoyed yours. WE have a LOT in common...I really really really want to leave my day job (nurse). Maybe one day I will get your courage. For now have vowed not to let work "stress" me out! If someone would pay me to blog all day - I'd be one happy camper!
