I had a meeting at work today and I am officially quitting my job! As of May 26th, I will be a stay at home mom. This is so crazy to me! If you know me at all, you know this has been a bitter sweet decision.
Reason that I have enjoyed working and made this decision harder are:
- I secretly love being busy. I thrive on stress.
- I love having extra spending money! No more lunch shopping sprees. No more shoe purchases or online clothing purchases because I'm bored at work. More importantly, no more trips to Europe or Mexico for a long time!
- I love getting dressed and putting on makeup once in a while for a reason
- I love being a certified Interior Designer
- I love Roman's Montessori school and will miss his teachers so much!
- I love having child free lunch dates
Obviously I can't wait to not work! I'm thrilled to have the extra stress of commuting, deadlines, and projects out of the way. I can't wait to get more involved in church with MOP's and join a weekly morning bible study. I can't wait to devote more time to teaching Roman his letters, numbers, and colors every day. I'm so thrilled to join Lifetime fitness and take the kids there while I enjoy long daily workouts. Most importantly, I'm so excited to be with my babies every single day! I know it's going to be hard at times and very chaotic! I just have to remember the simple moments and soak them up. I can't stress about the house not always being clean or get annoyed that we're coloring footballs over and over again with crayons. I truly feel like this is going to somewhat change me as a person for the good!
To be continued!

Big decision. Congratulations. You didn't list the cons of working though... Commuting, working through lunch, being away from your babies, bosses, nosy coworkers, computers,sitting in the same spot all day looking at computers, etc. I'm excited for you.
Congrats! I'm so excited. You will love being with your babies during this precious time you can't get back!
This is a big decision, but I think you'll like it. You're kids will be lucky to get to spend so much time with their mom. :)

Congratulations! It's so rewarding:))
