New Job

As of December 18th, I will be changing careers to become a stay at home mom. I gave my official resignation yesterday. After a brief moment of panic, I am at peace with everything. I had originally planned on this happening at the end of the school year, however our sitter is unable to watch E after December. We thought about getting another person to watch her, but I am very picky, they would have HUGE shoes to fill & everything would need to feel right. And since it didn't we thought this would be the best thing to do. I feel like this happened at the right time because just a week before we found out, I was complaining to Lane about how I hated being away from Elliot & felt so bad about not spending more time with her. Now she's got me 24/7 & I'm sure she'll get sick of me! I'm going to try to come up with some sort of a schedule to keep us occupied. So to all you stay at home moms...call me! Haha!

Yeah!! I'm so excited and happy for you! And, Elliot too! I promise you will not regret your decision. Yes, it's tough, but SO worth it in the long run. We need to definitely get together now that you are home. Enjoy every precious moment with that sweet baby...she is an absolute doll by the way!

Lindsey said...

Wow wow wow! I know this was probably such a hard decision, but you know it's right when you feel that peace about it. You are going to love being with Elliot all of the time! :)

Well congratulations... you sound happy!

Don't worry so much about a schedule. She will keep you busy, busy, busy. You will love being with her but I will say that after awhile you might need just some time off because for some reason it seems that being with them 24/7 makes you forget briefly how cute and precious they are. I wish I was down in Houston so you, Christina, and me could hang out. I need family!!!!! Elliot is soooooo cute. I miss having a sweet baby girl...and by the way boys are stinky at whatever age they are. :)

YEAH!!!!
You will love it! I think one thing that i was worried about staying at home sometimes would get boring-- but really, there is always so much to do! I thought sometimes I would miss teaching, but I love how teaching benjamin gives me that fill!

I think working has helped me be able to organize my time so much better and be a better mom to benjamin.
You are going to love staying at home. You, I have no doubt will have no problems adjusting and keeping yourself busy! I am sure that it wasn't an easy decision, but E will Love it and you will love it. I mean come on? can anyone blame you for wanting to spend 24/7 with that little cutie pie? Congrats!!

Gwen said...

Wow! That is awesome news! I'm glad that you are able to do that. You know what's next, right? You'll be blogging about EVERYTHING!!!

Great decision!

Alys said...

That is good! I know you will be really happy with that decision. I was wondering what was going to happen when Lane said the sitter couldn't watch her anymore. This is so much better, a full time mommy.

Debbie said...

there's no better job than being a mom and nothing more sacrificial and loving than being a stay-at-home mom. that's awesome! :)

Jami said...

Must be nice.

Christina Bassi said...

Yeah! I am so happy for you! It's hard being away from your little one. They grow up so fast. You hate to miss anything.

Audrie said...

Yea!! I'm so glad for you. You will love it MOST days. :)

Regina said...

I will say it is the best AND worst job in the world! And it is sometimes fairly boring and isolating, but there is nowhere I would rather be and I know you will feel the same way! Yay! Congrats!

Yay! I'm so excited for you! It tore me up inside when I had to leave Katy to go to work. However, I still do occasionally miss getting dressed up everyday, having adult conversations and having my opinion be respected =)
