Well, it is official. I finally gave my notice at work. My last day will be February 20th. I am SUPER excited!!! It will be an adjustment seeing as I have been working for 2 years now, but it is a welcomed change.
I will be watching a few kids to bring in a little extra money for us. This will be good for Emma because she will still have interaction with children her age. Emma doesn't understand the concept of "1 month". So every day she says "it's been 1 month, I am not going to preschool today" and then I have to say "no, you are still going". And then the drama begins. So, it will be fantastic when the day finally comes that I can say "You aren't going today".
Having been a working mother I have gained an appreciation for women who do just that. I have learned that when necessary you do what you have to. I have gained friends and made lasting relationships by working.
I have also gained a greater appreciation for women who have the opportunity to stay at home with their children. What an important role! My desire to stay home with my children has increased and magnified this past year. As Dusty and I have worked toward getting our bills in order to do this I have learned to be disciplined and to have patience.
To all mothers out there, working or not, I say "Kuddos to you!".
P.S. I may also be starting to teach violin lessons. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while now.

You must have stayed up late getting everything back in order on the blog! :) It looks cute!
Yeah for you quitting! I hope that I won't have to go back to work after school is out. I obviously have had the opportunity to stay home for 10 years...and working outside the home has been one of the hardest things for me to cope with. But...we are being blessed for our good decisions and that makes me feel better!
I am so excited for you to be home with Emma! yeah for you! Good job!
I am excited for you too! I consider it a luxury to stay home and I love it. That's awesome you're thinking of teaching violin lessons!
That is great! I didn't know you were planning on doing that.
Ididn't know you were working or that you played the violin. Can I take lessons over the internet you did know I played once. I think it was thwe second one made. Enjoy your vacation at home and you now can't fire any of your employees. cute family picture maybe I'll see you guys on Feb 7 in Laramie bye
Can I just say again how excited I am with you for staying home now? Princess Monkey Eyes, also is so excited to be able to spend more time with Emma.
I appreciate moms who work both inside and outside the home. Both are tough jobs to handle and we all do what we can to make ends meet, raise our kids & do the best that we can each day.
I'm counting down with you!!!
