I quit my job today.
If you know me at all, you know that this was a really hard thing for me to do.
I've worked at the DOT for nearly 10 years and have loved it. I love roads, road construction, my boss and my co-workers. (I just love my husband, my kids, and my sanity more.)
I was determined not to cry as I told my boss this afternoon. When he cried first, all bets were off. I stopped at Fareway a half hour after our resignation converstion and the clerk (very tentatively) offered me a paper towel to use as a Kleenex.
My last day will be Friday, September 26th and as sad as I am to leave, I am looking forward to my new life as a Stay-At-Home-Mom. I have HUGE plans of organizing my house, grocery shopping during the day, visiting family and friends more, and attending the library story time. Check back in three months to see if I actually got any of these things accomplished ;-)

It's tough to leave something you love so much, but just remember that you can have Hy-Vee cake before you leave. :-)
Congrats on making a hard decision, but one you'll never regret!! Have fun staying home with your kids...and leave your organizing the house idea for AFTER they move out in 15-20 years! :-) Enjoy!!!

Join the 'quitter' club, Sally!! Isn't it hard to leave? i'm beginning day 3 of my SAHM and am having an identity crisis. Not really... but it was hard to leave. I'm loving it so far though!! I didn't realize you would be done so soon. I'm so happy for you. Maybe we should try to visit each other?!?
Wow...that's all I can think to say. I never thought you'd do it. Congratulations! It'll take some adjusting, I'm sure, but Dave's right when he says you'll never regret it.
You can come visit us anytime if you get lonely! :)
I am selfishly very excited you are going to be home! Who would have thought ten years ago that we would be setting up playdates for our kids?!
But, I know I had a hard time transitioning after only three years in the working world. If there is anything I can do during that tough time, please let me know!
Oh, and don't hold your breath on the organizing thing. :)
