I did it. I quit my job for reals, as in, no "Leave of Absence", no more vacation, no more PTO, no more timeclock, no more write-ups, no more customers yelling at me to grow some morals, no more nuffin. No more listening to how enough is never enough, and you can't get blood from a turnip. (Remember, I was a bill collector.)
No more running out to lunch and eating in the car on the way back hoping to beat 30 minutes when the closest fast food restaurant is 20 minutes away.
No more listening to Maia cry that she doesn't want to go to day care today, she just wants to stay home and play.
No more, "What's for dinner?" as I walk in the door to my husband who can't cook to save his life. Only so I can snap back, "I dunno, I didn't run over any animals on the way home, what's in the freezer, oh heck, order pizza!" No more of that!
Now how do I tell my mom that her daughter has no job, but has a smile on her face? Maybe she will read this blog.

lol...you rock gal! how I wish I could do that to my boss too:)
Congratulations! My sister did bill collecting for a nursing home, not so easy on the emotions. I'm sure your family will love you being home more, and in better spirits. Hope your really enjoy it!
You go girl! :)
So now you're out of a job? I hope not... You'll still be "Shop owner", "Designer" and, most important job in the WORLD, you're a "Mommy" to a child that doesn't have to cry about daycare, right? :)
That took courage and I applaud you. Enjoy your new job as a stay-at-home Mom to your little one. A very rewarding "job" to say the least.
It is tough! I know. I did it last year and the past 12 months have been the most satisfying months of my life - even with the hard days and lack of cash! I gave up due to our great Financial Crisis - I was a servicing agent, loan processor, ops manager, investor relations (all rolled into one) and when we started taking homes back... I couldn't stay sane any longer...
You will have rough days but it surely will even out. And nothing is better than hearing your little say your name... over and over!
CONGRATULATIONS!
CONGRATULATIONS!

Welcome to the wonderfully fulfilling world of professional parenting! I know from experience that it can be a scary thing to leave the workforce, but as you reclaim your family, and you are there to witness your children's lives instead of hearing about it from the babysitter, you will find that there are NO regrets. I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness with your family.
