Into the Fire

The momentous occasion I had been dreaming about for months finally occurred. I QUIT! I am no longer employed for monetary gain. For the last 2 weeks, I dreamed about what I would be able to do with 40 more hours of the week at my discretion.

Ha ha hahahahahaha.

Yes, that's right. They evaporated into work I'd been longing to go back to--the full-time stay at home mom. There are meals and cleaning and school appointments and family projects and church service opportunities. All these had been sliding by silently as worked for someone other than myself.

I'm busier. Since quitting, I've been fingerprinted for the school, gone on 2 school field trips, helped paint my mother's house, helped my brother move to Salt Lake and done some deeper cleaning I'd been neglecting for too few hours in the day. I'm more exhausted at the end of each day (no more 8 hours sitting at desk answering calls when they come in).

I'm happy.
