Free at last! I am officially unemployed...or should I say self-employed? After four years, there are definitely some friendships and faces I will miss. The second I left, I was hit with a wave of relief. I felt like sleeping for hours, but I had some celebrating to do and not all mine. My niece turns 10 today, so after a celebratory dinner with the hubby, we went over for cake.
Adult conversations turned to work. Some people were surprised that in this economy when everyone is looking for work, I quit mine with no back up. And the only thing I can say is "Yes, I did." At first when I was telling people I was going to stay home for some time, I was embarrassed and felt wrong. To some coworkers, I'm "better than that." Some of the women were envious, but in a good way. It's slowly sinking in and I can say with a growing confidence I am happy with my decision and I will concentrate on my family and home. I will be there for my daughter. I know it's not going to last for ever, so I will enjoy the time while I can. Heck, I might even get that dog I've been wanting.
Sounds like a good decision. Things have a way of working out for the best.
