Nice Fat Weight Off My Shoulders

Ahhhhh. I suppose I could feel lighter, like if I quit ALL of my jobs, but tonight I could have wings. I quit my job at the hospital and I feel wonderful. Not that I didn't love the job, because I do but it was just one more thing on top of a million other things that I needed to do. My performance there wasn't what I wanted it to be anymore and it was just more time away from my family.

So I sent in my resignation this evening and I'm a little sad because I've worked there for 4 years, but it feels good too - like now my weekends will be totally mine again and no more wondering if I"m going to be called in or do I need to work tonight or not... freedom. Ahhh.

6 backward glances:

I have to say, that is one of the greatest feelings in the world...decluttering your life :) I love how you just casually mention "jobs" like it's so normal to do so much, and do it all so well. I have decided that you need to write a life organization book...I would totally buy it! I still have all of those cleaning handouts you did for that relief society class way back when. You are amazing, seriously.

WOW... way to go! If you feel good about it then it was the right thing to do for sure. Enjoy your new found time with your family, they'll love you for it!

I'm so proud of you for recognizing your priorities, honey! I know everything else in your life will gradually fall into line now that you've made this important decision.

Good for you! It is so great that you were able to do that. Thats why I quit mine as well, I hated being away from my kids. I figure I will have enough time to work when they are older.
Hope that you can enjoy your family time.

Were you a nurse? You look so good in the above pictures! I can't wait to get this twin weight off of me!

Hey Camey, no I'm not a nurse thank goodness. I'd make a terrible one. I'm an occupational therapist :)
