Ok. Breath, Steph. OMG!

Just so you know. Just because you know how excited I was. Just in case you wondered what ever came of the whole “Stay-At-Home” Mom thing!?

I TURNED IN MY RESIGNATION TODAY! OMG! I had to yell that because, you know, I’m a drama momma and OMG!? I quit my job! I’m a stay-at-home MOM! Can I get a whoop-whoop?

Also, when I gave my supervisor my whole spiel on why I was quitting, etc., he offered me a 10% raise. I must be SpEcIaL! Special enough to say, “Hell no, Y’all! I’m outta here!”

I gave them a (almost)3 week notice. My last day will be the 15th. OMG! I get to spend the entire Christmas break with my kids. I’m so excited, Y’all! Can you tell by! all! the! (!) marks! how excited I am!?

Oatmeal cookies, tangles, milk moustaches, library visits, picnics, gardens, bubbles, sidewalk art, cuddles, hide-n-seek, naps, (house chores, potty training, laundry, and a few temper tantrums too). That, I’m here to tell you, is priceless. No raises, no awesome salary, no 401K could beat that.

18 days. 18.

  3. WHOOP WHOOP!!!

    What a happy step - congrats!! I am quite proud of you. But now I really wish you lived closer… hey maybe you can by that house in Flint. (ok … not) BTW, Flint is about 40 minutes north of me.

    More time for blogging.. yeah….

    oh.. I missed the point didn’t I…?

    You are going to make a great stay-at-home Mom.

  13. Congratulations! The fantastic thing is that you took an opportunity that came up, so I’m very pleased for you. The kids will love having you around for the Christmas break. I’m so looking forward to the break this year, with my little one going to pre-school in five weeks I’m hoping to spend all our time down at the beach!

  14. Thanks to all of you! I’m very excited. And scared! I can’t think of a job more wonderful than being a stay-at-home mom. I’ve always been so envious of others who found a way to do it. For us it was just making a few sacrifices in order for it to work out (other than getting into our fixed rate mortgage which had to be done while I was employed)– we cut our cell phone usage down, ordered a smaller cable package, I’ll go 3 months instead of 2 before I get my hair done again, no more acrylic nails. It’s just the little sacrifices once we got out of the adustable rate mortgage, our true obstacle.

    Anyways, thx for your well wishing and thoughtful words. We look forward to our time together!
