Well, in my last post I said I needed to make a few decisions. Happy to report... One Down! I quit my job today. I actually walked out. I have never done that before. It is so not like me to do that. I had a silent war in my head about it all day, but in the end I figured that job was sucking the life out of me and staying 2 weeks was only going to make things worse. I only feel bad about leaving the employee's with 'the devil' as most refer to her (aka-my boss). I just couldn't take another day there. So for now I am going to enjoy being home with my kids and maybe I will make some lunch dates, play dates or plans to go to the library or the park. Feeling like a big weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I am feeling much more calm about it all. (I was a mess yesterday!) I will now get to attend all my kids soccer games, clean my house, help the kids with homework, snuggle on the couch with my 2 little boys in the mornings watching Caillou, Sesame Street or whatever we want. I am most excited about the fact that I can start walking/running in the mornings again. Never felt like I had the time while trying to get 3 kids off to school, get ready for work and get out the door by 8:15am. And I hated going back to the gym to work out after spending so much time there working. So I am excited to be able to just get out and walk/run through the neighborhood and feel rejuvenated again.
So, one down, two to go. Actually I guess I could say two down! One of the other decisions was made for me, by me. By quitting my job, I don't see us buying a house anytime soon. So there, 2 down. We will stay where we are and just enjoy it. I will start decorating and maybe I will even go shopping for some furniture so that we have somewhere for people to sit. Then maybe I can entertain again! I love entertaining, but haven't had anyone over because we have nowhere for them to sit! Maybe I can change that too.
So the only decision left is school. Hmmm... Can't tackle that one right now. I need time to recover from the emotions of the last 2 days. Will tackle that one in the next few weeks. For now, I just want to enjoy my 'unemployed' status.

I am proud of you!!! You followed your heart and knew exactly what was the best thing to do. Enjoy your time off and love on those kids. And just in time, with the weather starting to cool, you can actually go to the park for a playdate.
Way to go Brenda! I walked out of one of my jobs. I totally understand what you went through. Hopefully you will figure things out. Just enjoy your life and especially your kids right now.
Good for you! The fact that you feel so good about your decision proves it was the right one. HUGS!!!
I am so glad that you did it!! And the best part is that you feel good about it. No looking back. When I walked out of my job after marissa was born it was an emotional thing, yet a wonderful thing. I was upset at my boss and thought I could just put up with things but then it was making me misserable. once I walked out it was like I felt 20 lbs lighter!!! I was happy and got to have time with marissa and things turned out wonderfully in the end. Great Job!!! You are an inspiration. Love ya!
Good for you! Sad for them. I bet they'll feel really bad that they acted like jerks soon when they realize what a good employee they lost. Enjoy your kids they are cuties! I especially love to see Ryan spralled out on the Nursery floor every Sunday looking really comfy (no really) I'm always suprised that he can sleep through all the yelling and chaos that goes on in the nursery
I'm so sorry I realized I put down the wrong name. Of course you know I meant Tyler. Really so sorry
Good for you! I know that it was a tough choice. Sounds like you're feeling good about it. Yay!
