When is it the right time to say good bye? I look out my glass wall and see my co-workers milling about and I think, if they only knew. I've known most of these people for 16 years. 16 YEARS. This week I'm going to give my letter of resignation and it feels like I'm about to betray them.
There's been so many times I've wanted to blurt out, "I'm leaving," but I swallow my words instead. I was biding my time until now, December and now that it's here I feel anxious. I plan on telling my boss' wife first.
My resignation seems like it could be a mixed blessing. One of the family members quit last month. Some of her duties were split between myself and my other friend. So, in that sense it'll put a strain on a few co-workers. The blessing might be since the economy is down my resignation might save them some money in wages and insurance.
I'm going to stay home with my boys and keep my part time job as Nursery Director for Journey Fellowship. I'm also going to do after school care for my neighbor's 9 year old son. Our boys get along so that's great.
With the impending CHANGES in our future as a family, I'm on a mission of Meal Planning, Housecleaning schedule and saving lots of money. Send me your favorite links if you have any. I like Mommy Savers and The Grocery Game. Any others?
BTW I'm home feeling a bit out of sorts. I'm taking Zicam for the first time. Has anyone tried it? I was skeptical about it's claim for shortening the duration of a cold. How does ANYONE know how long a cold will last?

I miss being at home though and I miss the kids. Part time would be my preference too, and it's worked for me before. I think you will enjoy it Candes. The pace of life is perhaps slower in some senses but no less busy in others if that makes sense.
